Game Pass continues to be an awesome place for players to discover games, including Call of Duty. Our focus remains unchanged: to deliver the best possible Call of Duty game experience for players across every platform. We'll continue to support Game Pass through catalog titles

After losing $300 million on Black Ops 6 with Game Pass, this makes perfect sense to do.

Classic price anchoring tactics. Increase by a lot...then soon after reduce a little, while still keeping the price higher than what it used to be. And the consumer is supposed to feel grateful 😒 This is insulting. It won't change anything. Too little too late. [image]

Removing Call of Duty from Game Pass feels like Microsoft choosing to do what's best for Xbox as a whole. In the past, it felt like Microsoft chose to do what's best for Game Pass instead. Keeping COD a premium brand feels like it makes the most sense for Xbox.

I think this is amazing, in order for AAA games to be sustainable you can't launch them in a service like this 💯 Hopefully xbox goes back to having games exclusive and not in game pass 🔥

Microsoft just lowered Game Pass prices while quietly removing Call of Duty Day One launches. They're charging you less for a worse product and calling it ‘a response to feedback’. Don't fall for the trap. It's a downgrade disguised as marketing. [image]

Since Xbox is no longer adding new Call of Duty titles to Game Pass on day one, they should release all legacy Call of Duty games on game pass like today
