Whatever gripes you may have with Microsoft, you have to admit that it offers a pretty solid deal with its Xbox Game Pass service. For only $1, new subscribers can test Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass out for two weeks — well, usually. Recently, Microsoft pulled its $1 offer, and the decision seems to mysteriously coincide with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's impending release.
Very suspicious. Call of Duty site Charlie Intel first noticed the change on October 15, and some fans are frustrated. Black Ops 6 — a 90s spy shooter with fat guns and round-based zombies — is available to purchase for $70. Xbox's $1 deal, though, would have theoretically allowed new subscribers (and people with 40 backup emails) to more affordably experience its single-player campaign and multiplayer options.
