If today’s report is true, this represents a significant Game Pass push from Microsoft, which is seemingly willing to sacrifice upfront Call of Duty sales on Xbox and PC if it means more subscribers. Microsoft haspledged to keep Call of Duty available on PlayStation for a decadefollowing the closure of theXbox Activision deal, and Xbox Game Pass is not available on theSonyplatform, where the franchise has seen most of its sales in recent years. Last week, Xbox president Sarah Bond appeared totease Xbox Game Pass appearances from the Activision portfolio, which would include Call of Duty.
Alongside the Xbox Games Showcase in June, Microsoft is also hosting a"Redacted Direct" that’s been not-so-subtly teased as a reveal of this year’s Call of Duty. Rumors have long held that this will beBlack Ops 6, and it looks like we’ll know the truth of it soon enough.
Call of Duty is arguably the biggest traditional gaming franchise that doesn’t involve stealing cars, and Microsoft will certainly be betting big on it this year. But with the closure ofseveral beloved studios earlier this month, fans and the industry at large will certainly be looking at the company with even greater scrutiny.
