Microsoft has officially confirmed that the highly awaited game, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, will have a day one release on Xbox Game Pass. This announcement came after a technical glitch resulted in the inadvertent leaking of the information ahead of schedule. Alerts were mistakenly sent out from the Xbox Game Pass app, providing a URL to a page that did not exist, with the link including the text “play-call-of-duty-black-ops-6-day-one-game-pass.”
According to a tweet from Verge senior editor Tom Warren, the Xbox Game Pass app on both iOS and Android notified users that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 would be coming to Game Pass on the day of its release later in the year. This unexpected early revelation caught the attention of many gamers who were eagerly anticipating the game’s launch.
Shortly after the premature notification, an official post was made on Xbox Wire confirming that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will, indeed, be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. While it may not come as a surprise, as Microsoft typically includes all first-party games in their day one Game Pass releases, it is still significant to note that the game is now part of the Microsoft family following the acquisition.
The previously undisclosed Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct showcase is scheduled to debut immediately after the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase on June 9th at 10 am PT (June 10th at 3 am AEST). Both live streams will be accessible on various platforms such as Xbox Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook channels. Additionally, an ASL version with English audio descriptions will be available on the Xbox ASL Twitch channel for a more inclusive experience.
The accidental early announcement of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s day one release on Xbox Game Pass has caused quite a buzz among gamers. The confirmation from Microsoft and the subsequent details shared about the upcoming game showcase have only added to the excitement surrounding the highly anticipated title. With its inclusion in the Xbox Game Pass library, players can look forward to diving into the action-packed world of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 from the moment of its launch.
