Microsoft is preparing a showcase to introduce all of the new games including Call of Duty and changes that will happen in the future. According to many rumors that are stronger than ever, Xbox Game Pass is preparing for an entire change involving new tiers and more expensive prices.
This is reportedly for gamers who want to play Call of Duty on the service. Popular video game insider Shinobi 602 has confirmed that this will happen soon, resulting in a permanent change to Microsoft’s subscription service. This will probably be announced at the showcase on June 9.
Xbox Game Pass Is on the Verge of Making Several Changes
Since Microsoft’s official acquisition of Activision, there have been no significant changes in exclusivity or business model. But after a rough couple of months, Xbox is really preparing to make some key changes to boost the numbers of Game Pass and the brand in general.
According to rumors, the current service tiers will change to include a new and more expensive option for certain games. On the popular gaming forum Resetera, renowned gaming insider Shinobi 602 responded to a question about potential changes to the Microsoft service, confidently stating that such changes are imminent.
However, the insider didn’t mention that it was because of the Call of Duty addition to the service, but there are no other IPs that could generate this kind of change. After that answer, this insider provided no further details.
Call of Duty Is Seemingly Coming to Game Pass
The reaction to this on X was pretty positive; some users even said that they have no problem paying $5 more if the Activision franchise is on the service. Others said that this change will make Xbox Game Pass much more expensive and will not be so accessible for the average player.
If you don't think whatever the new price would be is worth it then just buy the game separately. Game pass value comes from playing many games, not just 1 or 2

Another user pointed out that it makes sense to buy the game so you can keep paying the same price for the service.
I'll pay the $5 more a month if it includes cod and more perks

According to months of leaks and different sources, the new Call of Duty will be called Black Ops 6 or Black Ops Gulf War. This is very possible, especially because the next entry is being developed by Treyarch. As per leaks, the next game will be a sequel to the second game in the saga, which introduced Mason and the numbers.
Fans are eager to learn about the future of the franchise and the IP in general, now that it is in Microsoft’s hands. The Xbox Summer Showcase will be held on June 9 and will introduce many updates from the different IPs that this brand owns.
After the main event was finished, Activision Blizzard prepared a new presentation where the next entry of the FPS franchise would be finally revealed. This could also be the place where the changes for Game Pass were announced. There is less than a month for this to happen, and players want to know what will happen.
