Microsoft has canceled the cheapest version (access trial) of its Game Pass gaming service just before the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the most important video game of those yet to arrive in 2024, at least in terms of the potential number of players.
He Game Pass from 1 euros / dollar has been an important component in Microsoft’s marketing strategy to popularize its subscription service. It offers easy and extremely cheap access to the huge number of games, tempting new users to simply “try it out” for a couple of weeks.
No 1 euro Game Pass for Black Ops 6
However, if you were thinking of using it for Black Ops 6, forget it, it is canceled until further notice, we assume that at least until after the game’s launch next October 25. It is not the first time that the $1 access trial has been canceled as Microsoft used it before the launch of Starfield last year. It suggests that it will be a recurring strategy in the launch of the most important games.
And Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 undoubtedly is, with potentially massive sales as befits one of the most successful franchises in the history of video games. Translating it into data: Activision sold more than 20 million units of the previous Call of Duty, something that Microsoft does not want to put at risk.
In summary. Microsoft will be less generous for cheap access to its game subscription service, which, remember, originally lasted not two weeks like now but an entire month. In any case, the Game Pass plans, both Xbox and PC, they are very attractive and in my particular opinion, the best on the market in terms of cost and number of games.
It’s been a year since Microsoft officially acquired Activision Blizzard and of course Microsoft is monetizing it. The company is expanding the number of games from the distribution giant that it includes in Game Pass, as it already did with Diablo IV. Modern Warfare III and Warzone are coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming later this month alongside the StarCraft franchise for PC Game Pass. Even exclusive Overwatch 2 benefits are now available to subscribers.
But 1 euro to play the new CoD was already too much, they had to think at the Redmond headquarters. Black Ops 6 You can now reserve from 79,99 euros What does the base version cost? Or you can play it on Game Pass PC (12 euros per month) or Xbox Game Pass for 13 euros.
