Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC, and Standard on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S has been updated with a new, very inappropriate game.

It’s not surprising to see the $1 Xbox Game Pass trial quietly removed once again, especially as Microsoft looks to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to boost its Game Pass subscriber n

Microsoft has confirmed the next wave of titles coming to Xbox Game Pass for console, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming. This month’s headline addition is Black Ops 6, which will be the first Call of Duty title to hit Game Pass on day one when it’s released on October 25.

Here's the full Game Pass line up for the end of October, and into the start of November: South Park: The Fractured but Whole (Cloud, Console, and PC), via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard Donut County (Cloud, Console, and PC), via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard.

Black Ops 6 is the next entry in the hugely popular Call of Duty franchise and is set to launch on October 25. It will be the first Call of Duty title to be added to the Xbox Game Pass service at launch following the completion of Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard acquisition last year.

And Microsoft's decision here also seems to be part of a pattern. The company temporarily removed its $1 offer ahead of Starfield's splashy release in 2023, too. But, remember that you don't need Game Pass to play Black Ops 6. You can buy it on Steam and from the PlayStation store, too, when the game releases on October 25.

Microsoft has removed access to a potentially useful option from Xbox Game Pass less than two weeks before the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The Xbox Game Pass subscription option might have given budget-conscious players a chance to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for much less than its retail asking price.

Microsoft has discontinued the $1 trial offer for Xbox Game Pass just ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launch, removing a popular way for gamers to explore the service at a reduced cost.
