According to The Wall Street Journal, the new part of Call of Duty may be released on Xbox Game Pass immediately on release day. It is still unknown whether the subscription price will be increased before this.
Presumably, Microsoft will announce this during the summer Xbox Showcase on June 9. According to The Verge's Tom Warren, the company had long discussed this strategy, fearing that it would negatively impact revenue. He suggests that Microsoft can compensate for possible losses by increasing prices for Game Pass.
Let us remind you that according to rumors, the new Call of Duty will be released in October and will continue the Black Ops sub-series. The game will be an open world campaign, and the events will unfold around the Gulf War. According to insiders, the project may be presented in June at the Xbox Showcase.
Earlier, journalist Jez Corden from WindowsCentral released an article that Microsoft intends to release more games for PlayStation in order to increase profits.
