Also call of Duty will be included in the catalog of Xbox Game Passaccording to what Sarah Bond declared during the Bloomberg Technology Summit: the president of Xbox said that “every first party game” will be available, even those made by Activision Blizzard.
After talking about the launch of Microsoft’s mobile app store and the reasons behind the closure of Tango and Arkane Austin, Bond dedicated many words to the subscription service, once again trying to highlight its the undoubted advantages and extraordinary convenience.
“We know that our users love Game Pass, which is a subscription service and includes an entire catalog of titles, but above all it allows get every single game we make from day onewith a quality and variety that has only increased over time.”
“Over the course of this year, you’re going to see more really important games come into the Xbox Game Pass catalog,” Bond continued, to which the Bloomberg reporter asked her if she was talking also products belonging to the Activision portfolio.
“From all our studies“, replied the president of Xbox, reiterating the concept. “You will see truly incredible things, and making sure that all this is special for Xbox players is a fundamental priority for us.”
An important confirmation?
Sarah Bond’s words do not seem interpretable, although Call of Duty has not been explicitly mentioned. Probably Microsoft has not yet made a final decision on the launch of the next episode on day one on Game Pass and is testing the waters, also trying to evaluate the economic impact of a similar choice.
There are therefore two hypotheses on the table, both compatible with the statements of the president of Xbox, who as we now know knows how to do with public relations: the first is that the new episodes of Call of Duty will actually arrive on day one on Game Pass , the second is that the previous chapters become part of the catalog while for new ones you have to wait a certain period of time.
