Game Pass subscribers on Xbox and PC will be able to access Black Ops 6 at launch (October 25) if they are actively subscribed to select Game Pass plans (Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass PC, Game Pass Console). Furthermore, this includes the same preorder benefits as well!
Below are explanations of what Game Pass offers (for the uninitiated), as well as what Black Ops 6 edition each plan of Game Pass grants you access to, along with information on upgrading to the Vault Edition, which offers exceptional added value.
What is Game Pass?
Available to every Xbox and PC player with a Microsoft account, Game Pass is a monthly subscription service that allows you to play new games, as well as allowing you to enjoy hundreds of high-quality games with friends on Console and PC. With games added all the time, there’s always something new to play.
And now, active subscribers to select Game Pass plans can enjoy the same preorder benefits, and same-day game access as those who preorder the Digital Cross-Gen Bundle on Console or pre-purchase the Standard Edition on PC.
