Things aren’t looking good if you were hoping to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Xbox or PC for just $1 at launch. Microsoft appears to have removed the option to opt for a 14-day subscription at a discounted price just nine days before launch. Black Ops 6 beginning.
The news comes from a recent post on the site X/Twitter account With Call of Duty CharlieIntel blog, which claims the offer has disappeared. I went to the Xbox Game Pass website and couldn’t find the offer anywhere, which would add additional credibility to this claim.
Black Ops 6 is another extremely popular item Call of Duty franchise, and the premiere is scheduled for October 25. This will be the first one Call of Duty the title will be added to Xbox Game Pass at launch after Microsoft completed its acquisition of Activision Blizzard last year.
It will be available to those with an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass subscription, which costs $19.99 / £14.99 and $11.99 / £9.99 per month respectively. Many players planned to take advantage of the $1 subscription offer to get two weeks of access to the game for less.
While it’s incredibly disappointing to see this option disappear just days before launch, I can’t say it’s particularly surprising. Call of Duty games usually generate huge sales revenues during their release periods. The idea of Microsoft sacrificing much of this by providing consumers with an almost incredibly cheap way to try out the game seems a bit silly in hindsight.
There is currently no official word on whether the $1 Xbox Game Pass offer will return in the future, but I suspect it will at some point Black Ops 6the launch period has ended. While this moment is enough to raise eyebrows, it’s also worth noting that this isn’t the first time the offer has disappeared, so it could be for something else entirely.
