Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches with eyes on Game Pass


It is available straight away to subscribers of Microsoft’s Game Pass service, a first for a game this big.

Fellow creator OllMS, who uses the Battlenet platform instead, agrees and thinks this approach by Microsoft can make the game "more accessible to a wider range of audience". The CoD Black Ops spin-offs are generally well-regarded by fans for their single-player campaigns and the developers will be hoping this one lands well after the poor reception of last year’s Modern Warfare 3. "The fact that you've got that complete 360-degree movement, is going to give players a huge opportunity to shoulder opponents, kind of bait people in and create some incredible plays," he says.
