Microsoft Pulls $1 Xbox Game Pass Trial Ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Release
The removal is seen as a strategic move to boost Game Pass subscriptions and prevent free access to the new game.
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to launch on October 25 and will be available to Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
- Microsoft's removal of the $1 Game Pass trial is intended to prevent players from accessing Black Ops 6 without a full subscription.
- This strategy mirrors a similar move made by Microsoft before the release of the game Starfield.
- The decision has sparked frustration among gamers who hoped to use the trial to experience the game at a reduced cost.
- Black Ops 6 will be the first Call of Duty game available on Xbox Cloud Gaming at launch.
