Is Call of Duty Black Ops 6 coming to Game Pass?

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is fast approaching, but will this year’s new iteration find its way to Game Pass after Activision’s acquisition by Microsoft?

After three years of trials and tribulations, Microsoft finally closed its purchase of Activision Blizzard at the tail end of 2023, a historic deal costing them $68.7 billion.

And, while the previous acquisition of ZeniMax saw most of the publishing giant’s IP arrive on Game Pass right away, things have been slightly different with Activision Blizzard. The first titles have only recently begun rolling out on the subscription service, with Diablo 4 making first its way to Game Pass on March 28.

Naturally, there has been plenty of speculation surrounding the status of Activision’s pride and joy, Call of Duty. Will the series find its way to Game Pass? Here’s what you need to know.

Will Black Ops 6 be on Game Pass?

After an early morning leak revealed Black Ops 6’s Game Pass arrival, Xbox officially confirmed Black Ops 6 will be coming to Game Pass via a blog post. It will be a Day One title as well, although the launch date of the game is still unknown.

After much teasing via live-action trailers, the lid has been pulled back and Black Ops 6 is revealed. The sixth entry in the Black Ops series, Black Ops 6 is expected to be set in the Gulf War and will be developed by Treyarch.

For those interested in the upcoming COD title, be sure to check out the Black Ops 6 Direct, held after Xbox’s Games Showcase on June 9 at 10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM ET/6:00 PM BST.

Fans can expect a gameplay look at the upcoming title then, possibly including campaign insight, Zombies, perhaps a brief look into Warzone’s integration, and platform availability.
