The launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 directly within Game Pass represents a significant event for the Xbox service, potentially capable of bringing a significant amount of users into the ecosystem, but let’s see how it is organized access to different contents.

More precisely, as reported on the official blog, the breakdown is this:
- Game Pass Ultimate : allows you to play both the Black Ops 6 campaign and the online multiplayer and Zombies modes on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One consoles and on PC. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers can access the digital Cross-Gen Bundle on Xbox consoles and the Standard Edition on PC via the Microsoft Store
- Game Pass for PC – Provides access to the Black Ops 6 campaign, multiplayer and Zombies online modes on PC. Game Pass for PC subscribers can access the Standard Edition on PC via the Microsoft Store
- Game Pass for Consoles : Only gives you access to the Black Ops 6 campaign on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One. Multiplayer and Zombie contents are not included and must be purchased separately, as in fact the subscription does not include access to online, therefore in this case the purchase of a Core subscription is required to access it, or the switch to the plan Ultimate. Game Pass console subscribers can access the Digital Cross-Gen Bundle on Xbox consoles
- Game Pass Core : does not include access to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 but obviously allows online multiplayer gaming, once the title has been purchased in a standard manner.
The division makes sense, as the Game Pass subscription for consoles does not include access to online multiplayer (the old Xbox Live), therefore it only allows access to the Campaign, requiring an upgrade to switch to multiplayer content. The PC version, on the other hand, does not require a specific subscription for online play, and is substantially complete on Game Pass PC.
Those who have any Game Pass subscription prior to the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 also have access to bonus performance content: Woods Operator Pack and Early Access to the Open Beta , with instructions on the latter arriving in the coming period .
