Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will continue to have access to hundreds of games on Xbox console and PC including current Call of Duty titles, in-game benefits, online console multiplayer, and major day one releases. You can find more details on Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium, Game Pass Essential, and PC Game Pass plans here, and manage your account here.

Our players cover a wide breadth of geographies, preferences, and tastes, so while there isn’t a single model that’s best for everyone, this change responds to a lot of feedback we’ve gotten so far. We’ll continue to listen and learn.

    Not that I care about cod particularly, but you’re not kidding. They’re yearly releases so that basically means you don’t get to play at all until the player base moves to the next one.

      It’s not that bad, there’s usually more than enough of a player base to still easily find games. Honestly I think the newer CoD games are better a year after release. During it’s release schedule, they try really hard to sell the battle pass so the weapons you get from going through the battle pass tends to be overpowered and then balanced after the end of the season.

        That makes a lot of sense. I’m sure this latest duo was especially true for since 6 was so much better than 7.

      Unless the cost of buying an equivalent version of CoD is more than $82 you can just do that and still save money.
