Changes to Xbox Game Pass tiers are inbound due to the rumored inclusion of the new Call Duty on Microsoft’s subscription service.
Yesterday we covered a report from outlet WSJ that claimed that this year’s Call of Duty entry would be coming to Game Pass. Possibly the news is to be announced during next month’s Xbox showcase. Following this report, several sources are now claiming that Microsoft is planning to make changes to the Game Pass tiers, possibly even a price hike, mainly due to the inclusion of Call of Duty.
On the ResetEra forums, known insider ‘Shinobi’ first said that “there will be changes” when responding to a comment that Microsoft will introduce a new price, and reorganize the Game Pass tiers. Additionally, talking on X, Spanish insider ‘eXtas1s’ (who often writes for outlet Exputer) claims that “changes” are coming to the Game Pass tiers, mainly due to Call of Duty. No additional details have been shared just yet.
Another insider who shared ‘information’ about the rumored changes to Xbox Game Pass is ‘NateDrake’ who collaborated on the above claim from ” eXtas1s’. Answering a question on the ResetEra forums from a user who asked whether these changes include tier changes as well as a price hike, the known insider said that Microsoft will be making changes to pricing and tiers.
“Changes are coming in the form of pricing and a tier change”, ‘NateDrake’ wrote on the forums.
As always with these kinds of rumors, take the ‘info’ provided with a pinch of salt for now. Then again, these sources have proven to be quite accurate in the past, and it would only make sense for Microsoft to make changes to its subscription service if the company would indeed include the Call of Duty series on Game Pass.
