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.
