The subscription numbers Mason… what do they mean?
Microsoft has announced the latest game in the Call of Duty franchise – Black Ops 6, but the way it can be played could change the way new titles are released.
Set for an October release, the game will be available straight away for Game Pass subscribers, meaning that a monthly subscription, rather than an upfront chunk of money, will be needed to access to game.
The tech giant has previously made games available to Game Pass subscribers on launch day – such as 2023’s much-anticipated Starfield – but has never done so with a release anywhere near as significant as Call of Duty.
And, given that Call of Duty is played by 25 million players a month and has topped 425m lifetime sales, it has the potential to change the way that games are released.
