Although news about Treyarch’s upcoming Black Ops 6 has slowed down recently, the excitement around the next Call of Duty installment is still building. Activision’s extensive Summer Game Fest showcase revealed many gameplay details, and the announcement that Black Ops 6 will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one has fans buzzing. This could lead to a huge number of players jumping in right at launch.
Reddit user u/sonicfonico asked others if they planned to get a Game Pass subscription for Black Ops 6, sparking a lively discussion. Some users, like u/_rekstskrub_, see it as a better deal because it’s “cheaper to buy the pass than the game for the number of months [they’ll] probably end up playing.” On the other hand, users like u/DNAevolved115 plan to try the game on Game Pass first before deciding to buy it on Steam.
However, not everyone can easily access Game Pass. User u/BrilliantFennel277 pointed out that it’s “kind of expensive in [their] country,” noting that “a single dollar is worth 60,000 of Iran’s currency.” Unfortunately, this means some players, especially those outside North America and Europe, may need to buy the full game if they want to play it when it releases.
Don’t forget, if you have a Console, PC, or Ultimate Game Pass, you’ll be able to join the Black Ops 6 open beta. If you’re undecided about pre-ordering, subscribing to Game Pass is the most affordable way to give the game a try.
