The launch of Black Ops 6 brought an extra sense of excitement for Xbox and PC players, with the latest Call of Duty title releasing immediately on Game Pass.
Through doing so, it became the first Call of Duty game to be made available on day one through the Microsoft service, allowing millions worldwide to experience it for free.
But how long do Game Pass users have to enjoy Black Ops 6 before it is removed? Let’s find out.
Will Black Ops 6 be removed from Game Pass?
While an official timeframe has not been confirmed, there is no indication that Black Ops 6 will be removed from Xbox Game Pass in the foreseeable future. We expect it to be available for a very long time.
It’s worth remembering that Microsoft completed a historic $69 billion (£56 billion) takeover of Call of Duty publisher Activision Blizzard in 2023. As long as that ownership exists, it’s highly unlikely Black Ops 6 will be going anywhere anytime soon as far as Game Pass is concerned.
What Game Pass subscription is required for Black Ops 6?
Game Pass subscribers will be pleased to know that there’s currently no time limit to jump into Black Ops 6, but what exactly they can access within the game depends on which Game Pass plan they are on.
With that in mind, here’s a full breakdown of how to play Black Ops 6 on different Game Pass subscriptions:
| Game Pass type | Xbox Game Pass Console | PC Game Pass | Xbox Game Pass Ultimate |
| Black Ops 6 access | Black Ops 6 campaign ONLY on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One (add Xbox Game Pass Core to access Zombies and multiplayer). | Black Ops 6 campaign, Zombies, and multiplayer on PC via Microsoft Store/Xbox app. | Black Ops 6 campaign, Zombies, and multiplayer on PC, Xbox Series X|S, or Xbox One. |
In summary, if you want to experience everything BO6 offers, you must sign up for an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription if you haven’t done so already. Without it, you may be limited in what you can play and what platform you can play it on.
