According to informed sources, Microsoft has decided to add the next installment of Call of Duty to Xbox Game Pass. It is expected that Microsoft will announce this during the Xbox presentation on June 9.
Earlier this month, Microsoft was discussing whether to include new releases of the Call of Duty series in Game Pass. Some within the company were concerned that the revenue from typical Call of Duty sales would be undermined if the game appeared in the Game Pass subscription service. Activision traditionally sells copies of Call of Duty for around $70 or more. It typically sells over 20 million copies on average.
It is not yet clear whether Microsoft plans to charge an additional fee for Call of Duty in Game Pass, and whether the company will increase the fee for the Game Pass Ultimate subscription. It appears that Microsoft is considering the possibility of raising the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate again. Currently, Activision plans to release the next Call of Duty game at the end of October, which is rumored to be set during the Gulf War in the 90s.
Microsoft will hold its big summer Xbox presentation on June 9, and the Call of Duty Direct event will take place immediately after the main part of the presentation. The corporation is likely planning to announce a new Gears of War game during this show. The presentation will also feature several release dates for future Xbox games, such as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, Avowed, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
