Is Black Ops 6 available on Xbox Game Pass?
Yes, Black Ops 6 is now available to play on Xbox Game Pass. The latest title's immediate availability on Game Pass followed Microsoft's historic acquisition of Call of Duty producer Activision Blizzard. Game Pass works similarly to services like Netflix, offering users access to hundreds of games for a monthly subscription fee.
We can also expect that all the upcoming Call of Duty titles will also be on Game Pass. Given the acquisition and the price hike in the subscription service, there is a high probability for that to happen. Furthermore, Microsoft also says that all the first-party games will always be on Game Pass from day one, and Call of Duty is now a part of that as well.
As long as Microsoft owns Activision, we can also expect Black Ops 6 to be part of the Game Pass. In case something changes, you’ll be updated with the latest information. So for now, you can enjoy Black Ops 6 on Game Pass without having to worry about any time limit.

With that said, not all Game Pass members will have access to every aspect of the game. This will depend on the type of Game Pass subscription they have taken.
Here’s a breakdown of the accessibility that different Game Pass subscriptions offer:
- Game Pass Core: Game Pass Core includes online console multiplayer access, which is crucial for playing Black Ops 6’s Multiplayer and Zombies modes on Xbox consoles. However, it does not grant access to the full game.
- Game Pass Console: Game Pass Console subscribers will have access to the Black Ops 6 campaign on their Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One consoles. If you want to enjoy Multiplayer and Zombies, online access through Game Pass Core is necessary which is sold separately. If you want to have full access to all the modes without paying anything extra, you’ll need to upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate.
- Game Pass PC: Game Pass PC subscribers can enjoy the Black Ops 6 Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies modes on their PCs, with access to the Standard Edition via the PC Microsoft Store.
- Game Pass Ultimate: Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can play the Black Ops 6 Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies modes on both Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. If you are a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber, you’ll also have access to the Digital Cross-Gen Bundle on Xbox consoles and the Standard Edition on PC via the Microsoft Store.
In conclusion, Game Pass Core subscribers can access online features but won’t get the full game, while Game Pass Ultimate offers complete flexibility across platforms with all modes available. Meanwhile, Game Pass Console users will need additional subscriptions for multiplayer, and Game Pass PC players have full access.
