Microsoft has officially confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be launching on Xbox Game Pass on day one later this year. The announcement came after a leak earlier in the day, with Microsoft directing players to their upcoming Xbox Showcase event for more details on the highly anticipated game.

The news was initially revealed to users of the Xbox Game Pass app for iPhone and Android through a notification that stated the arrival of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Game Pass on the day of its release. This notification also included a link to an unpublished blog post on Xbox.com, hinting at more information to come in the near future.

While the inclusion of Black Ops 6 on Xbox Game Pass was not unexpected, as it had been previously reported by The Wall St Journal, the question remains whether Microsoft will make any changes to the pricing or tier structure of Xbox Game Pass in light of this major addition. This move could potentially help offset the revenue that would have been generated from traditional game sales.

Microsoft plans to showcase Black Ops 6 in a dedicated hour-long presentation following the June Xbox Showcase event, which is scheduled to coincide with events from Ubisoft and Nintendo during the traditional E3 conference week. Fans are eagerly anticipating more details on the game and how it will enhance the Xbox Game Pass experience.

Stay tuned for further updates on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and its integration into Xbox Game Pass as Microsoft prepares to unveil more information in the coming weeks.
