Xbox may remove Call of Duty from Game Pass day one; Claims Insider

Microsoft is considering some big changes

Currently, there are many rumors surrounding Microsoft’s gaming division. The new reports suggest that Xbox might be considering removing Call of Duty from Xbox Game Pass.

This was reported by the very well-known insider, Jez Corden. This will surely shake up the Xbox subscription service, as most of the players enjoy the game on Game Pass. Let’s check out more details in this article.

Possible big Game Pass changes

Jez Corden recently reported on his latest livestream that Microsoft might be exploring pulling Call of Duty from Game Pass.

For now, nothing has been confirmed yet and this is just a “possibility” on what he has heard.

For fans, this speculation is pretty surprising, as Microsoft heavily emphasized the inclusion of the game in Game Pass during its acquisition of Activision Blizzard. This was the major benefit for the player and a solid selling point for the service.

Why Xbox might remove Call of Duty?

One of the biggest potential reasons behind this could be financial. According to the insider, adding the game to Game Pass may have disrupted the server’s balance.

The franchise is considered among the largest franchises in the gaming industry, and its addition is believed to have led to recent increases in the pricing of Game Pass subscriptions, with Ultimate being more expensive every month.

Recently, there have also been some discussions about Microsoft introducing a new premium tier, especially for blockbuster titles like Call of Duty and more.
