- Microsoft has seemingly removed the $1 Game Pass subscription as the Black Ops 6 launch is drawing near.
- That $1 subscription would have given you a Game Pass for 14 days, but it has now been removed.
- No free trial is available either, suggesting that Microsoft does not want you to play Black Ops 6 at such a low price.
Every new and veteran Call of Duty player is waiting to get their hands on Black Ops 6, but some are also looking for a shortcut to grab the game for a cheap price. Since the next mainline entry is arriving on Xbox Game Pass as a day-one release, some players hoped to pay for the lowest subscription tier and play the game’s campaign for a limited time. But Microsoft has just made that fully impossible.
The company has removed the $1 game pass subscription as the launch of Black Ops 6 approaches. You can no longer pay a dollar to have the subscription for two weeks.
Why it matters: Microsoft removing the $1 Game Pass subscription suggests that it does not want gamers to play the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at such a low price.
As you can see in the image above Microsoft has removed the popular Game Pass deal and wiped out the free trial you could grab for Game Pass. Now, you must pay the full-price monthly subscription if you want to play Black Ops 6 as a day-one release on the popular gaming service.
The deal was removed to ensure gamers would not create new accounts to take advantage of the Game Pass service. This makes sense since the $1 trial has been abused plenty of times in the past.
However, it has still rubbed some gamers the wrong way and caused ripples of backlash on various forums.
All in all, while Microsoft’s decision to remove the $1 Game Pass subscription might be controversial, it also makes sense from a business standpoint. But what do you think the giant conglomerate should have done instead of removing the tier? Let us know in the comments below, or join the discussion on the official Tech4Gamers forum.
