Within the reveal, we can see Game Pass being pushed as a fantastic option for laptops and gaming handhelds like the ASUS ROG Ally.

Xbox Game Pass and PC

For those new here, Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that allows PC and Xbox gamers to access a vast library of games for a monthly fee. This means you can play a wide variety of titles without having to purchase them individually, making it a pretty cost-effective way to enjoy gaming if you want a wide range of options. Game Pass often includes day-one releases of major Xbox titles, giving you access to the latest games as soon as they come out. It’s also a great way to discover new games and try titles before committing to a full purchase.

The inclusion of Black Ops 6 in Game Pass is a significant move for both Xbox and Activision. It offers a substantial benefit to Game Pass subscribers. This way, fans will get access to the latest Black Ops experience without an upfront cost. Black Ops 6 releases on October 25, 2024, and with a confirmed day-one inclusion in Game Pass, players can expect a seamless transition into the new game without additional purchases. Fans have been discussing Call of Duty titles on Game Pass following the recent announcement that it has been a year since Xbox acquired its publisher, Activision Blizzard.
