Eagle-eyed Xbox Game Pass users received a notification today that seemingly confirms Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available on the subscription service on day one of release.

This would mark the first Black Ops title to launch on a subscription platform and the first major release from Activision Blizzard following its acquisition by Microsoft.

The notification, reported by users and tech journalist Tom Warren (from The Verge), links to a currently unavailable webpage on the Xbox website, suggesting an official announcement is imminent.

Rumours swirled beforehand about the potential for a new subscription tier within Game Pass to accommodate Black Ops 6 and future high-profile releases.

Details on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 remain scarce. A recent teaser trailer hinted at a Gulf War setting, which might be further explored in a live-action trailer expected today. A full reveal is anticipated during a dedicated presentation following this year’s Xbox Games Showcase scheduled for June 9th.

Speculation also surrounds potential changes to the Xbox Game Pass subscription model. The introduction of a higher tier specifically for day-one access to major releases like Black Ops 6 seems like a possibility.

Stay tuned for the official announcement from Xbox, which is expected to arrive shortly.
