    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

    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]

    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]

    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
