Note that Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is only available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC, not Core or Standard. Considering this, if the title isn't working for you on this service, you might not have the necessary plan. In this case, Xbox Game Pass will prompt you to buy Black Ops 6.

To check your plan/version follow these steps:

• Open the Xbox app.
• Click on your profile icon at the top left corner.
• Head over to Settings.
• Locate the Subscriptions section to find your current version of Xbox Game Pass.

Make sure you have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or the PC Game Pass. If you do, the title should be available on the Xbox app ready to be played.

Redditor ricky54326 has found a potential fix and shared the same on the XboxGamePass subreddit. They say if you've reached the device limit on your Microsoft account, it might cause an issue with loading up Black Ops 6 via the Xbox Game Pass.

To avoid the problem, you need to simply keep the PC you use attached to your account on service and remove the unused devices. After this, your game should be hopefully working fine.

To check your Microsoft Store Devices:

• Log in to Microsoft’s official website.
• Click on your profile icon at the top right corner and go to My Microsoft Account.
• Head over to the Devices section.
• Locate and remove unused devices.

You can now go back to your Xbox app and launch Black Ops 6.
