Microsoft has confirmed the next wave of titles coming to Xbox Game Pass for console, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming. This month’s headline addition is Black Ops 6, which will be the first Call of Duty title to hit Game Pass on day one when it’s released on October 25.

And Microsoft's decision here also seems to be part of a pattern. The company temporarily removed its $1 offer ahead of Starfield's splashy release in 2023, too. But, remember that you don't need Game Pass to play Black Ops 6. You can buy it on Steam and from the PlayStation store, too, when the game releases on October 25.

Here's the full Game Pass line up for the end of October, and into the start of November: South Park: The Fractured but Whole (Cloud, Console, and PC), via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard Donut County (Cloud, Console, and PC), via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard.

Xbox Game Pass has had some pretty big months over the past years with drops including games like Grand Theft Auto 5, but this second half of October brings a lineup that’s going to overshadow everything before it.

First announced years ago, the ability to begin streaming games you own on Xbox but that aren’t part of Game Pass will go into testing for insiders beginning in November. It’ll add another meaningful perk to the Netflix-like subscription program,

Microsoft has removed access to a potentially useful option from Xbox Game Pass less than two weeks before the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The Xbox Game Pass subscription option might have given budget-conscious players a chance to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for much less than its retail asking price.

With less than two weeks to go before Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 makes its debut, Microsoft has removed its £1/$1 Game Pass trial deal. As you can see in the image below, taken by Eurogamer this morning, the Game Pass page currently only shows the full prices for a month on the subscription service.

Microsoft has discontinued the $1 trial offer for Xbox Game Pass just ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launch, removing a popular way for gamers to explore the service at a reduced cost.
