Summary
Microsoft has removed access to a potentially useful option from Xbox Game Pass less than two weeks before the launch ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6. The Xbox Game Pass subscription option might have given budget-conscious players a chance to playCall of Duty: Black Ops 6for much less than its retail asking price.
Despite some unpopular changes to Xbox Game Pass in recent months, includinga Game Pass price increasethat attracted disapproval from government regulators, the service remains one of the best deals in gaming. For a relatively low monthly fee, players can enjoy a huge library of premium titles on a variety of platforms, including Xbox consoles, PCs, and on mobile via Xbox Cloud Gaming. Some of those titles include the biggest releases of the year, including theCall of Dutyfranchise, thanks to Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision and other major players in the game publishing space.
