Call of Duty Black Ops 6 on Game Pass, the details: which subscription do you need for Campaign and multiplayer?

The situation becomes clearer Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Game Passbecause there are some clarifications to be made that emerged shortly after the announcement of the Xbox Games Show 2024, with various details that explain how to access the game through Microsoft’s subscription service e what contents are expected based on subscriptions.

As reported by the game’s official blog, the contents of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be divided according to the various tiers subscription, with access to different portions of the new chapter, as well as the possibility of accessing some additional bonuses.

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.

Game Pass Ultimate is the preferred route

Obviously, most of the benefits are obtained with the Ultimate subscription, the only one that allows access to all content on Xbox and PC.

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 multiplayer and Zombies online 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: Access the Black Ops 6 campaign, online multiplayer and Zombies modes on PC. Game Pass for PC subscribers can access the Standard Edition on PC via the Microsoft Store
• Game Pass for console: Allows you to only access 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 split makes sense, as the Game Pass subscription for consoles does not include access to the online multiplayer (the old Xbox Live), therefore allows access only 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 own any Game Pass subscription prior to the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 also have access to performance bonus content: Woods Operator Pack and Early access to the open betawith instructions on the latter arriving in the coming period.
