Xbox Game Pass Tier Changes Are Inbound Due to Call of Duty, Insiders Claim

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.

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.

Another insider who shared 'information' about the rumored changes to Xbox Game Pass is 'NateDrake' who collaborated on the above claim from '' eXtas1s'.
