Activisionhas releaseda live action trailer for Black Ops 6, alongside confirmation that the title will be available on Game Pass on day one.
Last week, theWall Street Journal reportedthat this year’s Call of Duty game would be included as part of theXboxsubscription service, and thatMicrosoftcould also change the tiers available to players in the wake of Call of Duty’s inclusion.
This would mark the first time a Call of Duty game has been included in such a service at launch, and would mean for players with access to Xbox platforms, the entry cost for the game would be as little as $11.

Activisionlaunched a teaser site for Black Ops 6earlier this month. It’s been claimed that the title isset in the early 1990s during the Gulf War, with development being led byTreyarch.
