- A new report states that Call of Duty 2024 will launch day one on Game Pass.
- Microsoft has previously hinted at a similar move.
- This is the first time concrete sources have commented on the matter.
Xbox’s stance on Call of Duty and Game Pass has raised a few eyebrows since the Activision Blizzard deal concluded. While the gaming giant has dropped various hints on more than one occasion, it has yet to confirm the IP’s arrival on Game Pass.
However, new reports state that Call of Duty 2024 will launch directly into the service.
Why it matters: Call of Duty is now Xbox’s most lucrative IP on consoles and PC, making this choice tough for Microsoft.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Microsoft is set to shakeup this series in a major way this year.
Sources from the website indicate that Call of Duty 2024 is set to launch as a day-one title on Game Pass. However, no comment was made on the status of the older entries, though these are likely to follow, as well.
The report has also been unable to confirm any specific details on the game, though it expects the entry to belong to the Black Ops franchise, which is in line with past leaks.
Activision and Xbox are set to debut this entry next month. Fans can expect the official announcement during the Xbox Games Showcase as Call of Duty returns to the Microsoft stage for the first time in a decade.
With multiple hints from Xbox and recent reports, Call of Duty seems all but confirmed for a Game Pass release.
Following this decision, it will be interesting to see how the game performs. Typically, each new entry finds itself at the top of the best-selling charts, but instant access through a subscription may change this dynamic.
More casual audiences might find themselves content with just a few hours of access through Game Pass. However, hardcore fans are more or less guaranteed to purchase the game on their preferred platform.
