The addition of Call of Duty to Game Pass comes weeks after Microsoft announced that it would be raising the prices of its Game Pass tiers (specifically its Ultimate tier) and replacing the Console tier with a Standard tier, which will cost $15 per month when it launches later this year. Now, PC Game Pass costs $12 per month And Ultimate costs $20 per monthMicrosoft is no longer offering people the option to sign up for the Game Pass Console subscription, but subscribers of previous Console subscriptions can still take advantage of that subscription for now.
Microsoft acquired Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard in 2023, and since then, many subscribers have been waiting for the franchise to land on Game Pass. But this isn’t the first game from the mega-publisher to land on Game Pass. That honor goes to Diablo 4, which hit the service in March.
