Call of Duty is one of the biggest series in gaming history. Xbox Game Pass is one of gaming’s biggest services. It makes sense that one of Xbox’s priorities, especially after purchasing Activision, the publisher of Call of Duty, would be ensuring that the next title in the series is available on Game Pass.
Fortunately for Xbox and Call of Duty fans who have already subscribed to Game Pass, Microsoft recently confirmed that the next Call of Duty, Black Ops 6, will be included in the subscription service. But I can’t help but wonder if Microsoft will actually change course once Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is released on Game Pass. Of course, Call of Duty has a loyal fan base. But will fans who traditionally play on other consoles be motivated to join the Microsoft ecosystem? Will Game Pass’ lower price point appeal to people who don’t want to pay $70 for a game?
This week on Spot On, Tam and Lucy discuss the state of Microsoft and AAA gaming in general, the possibility of a Game Pass price increase, and whether they think BLOPS 6 will be the title that gives Game Pass a much-needed shot in the arm. .
Spot On is GameSpot’s weekly news show where Editor-in-Chief Tamoor Hussain and Executive Producer Lucy James discuss the latest gaming news. Considering the massive video game industry’s extremely dynamic and never-ending news cycle, there’s always something to talk about. Unlike most news programs, Spot On goes into detail about a single topic rather than summarizing all the news. Spot On airs every Friday.
