The next Call of Duty will reportedly hit Game Pass on its release day

It seems that Microsoft has decided to bring the next Call of Duty game to Game Pass on day one. Executives had reportedly been debating for some time how to handle the upcoming release.

Doing so may mean that Microsoft will leave hundreds of millions of dollars in game sales on the table given that each annual Call of Duty release is one of the top-selling titles of its respective year. There's always the possibility that Microsoft will increase the price of Game Pass to offset some of the revenue it's likely to lose from lower sales of the next Call of Duty entry on Xbox and PC. Xbox fans will also be pleased to know that the long-standing approach of putting all first-party Microsoft releases on Game Pass on day one is likely sticking around.
