The next Call of Duty game will also be published on Game Pass at launch: this is what the Wall Street Journal seems to confirm. Let’s see what we know.
The Wall Street Journal has made available a new report according to which Microsoft intends to publish the new chapter of Call of Duty arriving this year on Xbox Game Pass . The newspaper reports what was reported by sources who clearly remained anonymous.
According to the Wall Street Journal , Microsoft sees this move as a way to increase the number of subscribers to the subscription service. The newspaper highlights how this is a clear change from the previous strategy of Activision Blizzard King, which has never published a Call of Duty chapter on a subscription service since launch.

Obviously, although we are talking about the Wall Street Journal, what is indicated remains a rumor and not official information . We cannot consider this as certain or, even assuming that what is indicated is correct, as definitive: there is always the possibility that Microsoft and Activision Blizzard King decide to change their plans over the next few months.
However, let us remember that, although not entirely directly, Xbox’s Sarah Bond had already hinted that Call of Duty would arrive on Xbox Game Pass .
The next chapter of Call of Duty
For the moment we have no official information on the next chapter of Call of Duty, but rumors say that the name will be Call of Duty Black Ops Gulf War . It also seems that one of the game’s pre-order bonuses is the Frank Woods operator who can also be claimed in advance for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone.
The game should be presented in June, after the Xbox conference: there is no official confirmation, but everyone takes it for granted that the secret presentation is precisely that of Call of Duty .
