Call of Duty not appearing on Xbox Game Pass subscription? A price increase is possible soon? There currently seems to be a disagreement at Microsoft as to whether or not Call of Duty will be included in the Xbox Game Pass subscription.
Turbulent times at Microsoft and for all Xbox fans (once again). The bad news doesn’t stop and after Microsoft closed four of Bethesda’s studios and Perfect Dark is said to be in bad shape, there’s now the next bad news: Call of Duty might not be offered on Xbox Game Pass at all.
There are new reports that Microsoft has been discussing for months whether it would make sense to offer the new Call of Duty game directly as a subscription or not.
The reason for the considerations is the financial losses that one would have to accept if the new Call of Duty part were to be offered as a subscription straight away when it was published.
There is also a price increase for the Xbox Game Pass offering, which should be long overdue. But if Call of Duty is really included in the Xbox Game Pass subscription immediately upon release, this could further impact the price adjustment of the offer.
A notice: Please note that these are only internal considerations that are said to have caused discussions at Microsoft. There have been no announcements that Call of Duty will not end up on Xbox Game Pass or that the price will be increased.
What solutions would you suggest to Microsoft so that these internal discussions stop?
Of course, we also thought about it and had three solutions to make gamers happy and would (without wishful thinking). EA Play model as a model take. This means that all Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will receive access to a Call of Duty trial version upon release, but will then have to purchase the game in order to be able to play it on Day 1. After 12 months, the Call of Duty part 2024 would land in the Xbox Game Pass subscription in 2025. This would be implemented without a price increase.
In addition, all Xbox Game Pass subscribers (Xbox Game Pass Core, Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate) would have access to all beta dates.
Another option would be an additional one Call of Duty Pass to offer, whereby a subscription specifically for Call of Duty would be offered, similar to it Rockstar Games with GTA+
For the overall package, a Call of Duty Ultimate Pass, in which the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is offered together with Call of Duty, would be a possible solution. However, this would require a price adjustment.
What do you think of the proposed solutions?
- Xbox Game Pass Ultimate + Call of Duty of the current calendar year according to the EA Play model
- Call of Duty 2024 will not be included in Xbox Game Pass Ultimate until 12 months after release
- Call of Duty Pass (Standard & Ultimate)
- The worry-free package for all Call of Duty players with the Standard or Ultimate Version Day 1 and much more.
- Xbox Game Pass Call of Duty Ultimate
- The all-round gamer carefree package with Call of Duty Day 1 and much more.
