Microsoft continues to make big changes in its game teams. The company, which recently laid off sub-brands such as Activision and Bethesda, has big ambitions for Xbox Game Pass. Game Pass prices may be adjusted before Call of Duty.
When will Xbox Game Pass get Call of Duty?
According to reports from US sources, extensive discussions are ongoing between Xbox executives. Microsoft has not decided when it will add major franchises like Call of Duty to its Xbox Game Pass subscription service. In this context, the price of Game Pass Ultimate also remains uncertain.
On the other hand, Microsoft announced a while ago that it would bring Xbox exclusive games to PlayStation 5. The first of these titles, Sea of Thieves, is out for PS5. However, it was claimed that the company wants to bring some new games to the rival platform. Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II is rumored to be coming to PlayStation 5.
Some executives at Microsoft don’t think it’s right to include new Call of Duty games in Game Pass. This decision could drive users to Game Pass by preventing the games from being sold at high prices.
However, some executives think that Call of Duty titles coming to the service from day one could have a big impact. Also, the biggest focus of the Activision-Blizzard acquisition was its contribution to Game Pass.
Microsoft, which has question marks over its business model, will host the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9. The company will discuss both its new games and Game Pass developments.
