- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has launched to 250K players on Steam.
- However, due to the game being launched on Xbox Game Pass, the subscription service’s ultimate tier is currently a best-seller on CD Keys.
- On the third-party platform, Black Ops 6 is at the 6th spot.
Microsoft shocked the world previously by announcing that a franchise like Call of Duty is coming to Xbox Game Pass. It is pretty shocking that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launched the subscription service on day one.
This gives players an opportunity to try out their favorite parts of the game in a limited amount of time. If someone wants to just play the campaign, they wouldn’t have to spend a lot of money on the game. Due to that, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is now the best-seller on CD Keys.
Why it matters: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been launched to great numbers on Steam despite many trying it out on the subscription service.
As you can see in the image above, Game Pass Ultimate for a month is currently the best seller. CD Keys is one of the best third-party platforms that provides product keys to consumers at low prices.
Right at the fourth number, you can see that a similar Game Pass deal but with two more months has taken the spot. So, in the top five best sellers, there is no sign of Black Ops 6, which shows that Xbox’s strategy to launch the game on its subscription service worked.
It should also be noted that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is at the 6th spot despite being on a discount.
Analysts also think that the game can boost Game Pass subscriptions by up to 4 million. While this seems too optimistic, it doesn’t seem impossible, especially now. There were concerns that releasing Call of Duty on the subscription service would hurt the game’s sales.
However, that doesn’t seem to be the case, as it has been dominating Steam’s best-seller chart for a while now, and it also shattered the launch player record of Modern Warfare 3.
After last year’s disastrous launch of MW3, damage repair is still needed, but this year’s Cal of Duty seems to have delivered.
