Black Ops 6 expected to boost Xbox Series X/S sales with its Day One release on Game Pass, suggests insider

The sales report mentioned the exact sold units of Xbox Series X/S after 42 months of launch in comparison to Xbox One.

To be precise, Xbox Series X/S consoles have sold a total of 28.5 million units worldwide after 42 months. On the other hand, Xbox One had managed to sell 31.2 million units in the same duration. This means Series X/S is still 2.7 million units behind the last-gen console's sales figures.

After considering the report, reliable industry insider @eXtas1s on X predicted that sales of Xbox Series X/S are expected to grow following this week's Showcase event and CoD Black Ops 6's Day One launch on Game Pass.

Microsoft had recently confirmed the arrival of Treyarch's anticipated FPS premium on the subscription-based service. This means that users of Game Pass won't have to purchase BO6 for a full price of $70. Instead, they can enjoy it as part of their monthly subscription fee charged for the service.

Based on the latest prediction, it can be assumed that players who want to get BO6 without paying a premium price may be compelled to get Xbox Series X/S consoles. In such a scenario, the sales numbers may end up escalating later this year when the game eventually comes out.
