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.

StackSocial is offering a three-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription for just $36.49, which is a 28% discount from the regular price of $50.97. This brings the monthly cost down to approximately $12 and saves you $8 per month compared to the standard $20 monthly fee charged by Xbox.

Xbox Cloud Gaming is a feature included in a Game Pass Ultimate subscription -- which costs $20 a month. The feature is still in beta, but it allows subscribers to access and play certain games from the Game Pass library on other devices without an Xbox console.

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.

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.

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.

Xbox Cloud Gaming seeks to make your games library accessible from almost anywhere, but it could be disastrous for physical games and preservation.

As for the new Xbox Game Pass game in question, it debuted back in 2021, which was notably a very light year in terms of game releases, which is fairly standard of the year after a new console generation starts.

Microsoft has made the $1 Xbox Game Pass trial unavailable just as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's launch is around the corner.

Microsoft first stopped its $1 trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass in March last year, before bringing it back and nerfing it down to just 14 days instead of a full month. The Xbox maker then briefly removed the $1 trial just days before Starfield ’s debut in September.

Gamers hoping to snag Xbox Game Pass’s £1 introductory offer to dive into the upcoming Black Ops 6 are out of luck. With just over a week until the launch of the new Call of Duty game, Microsoft has quietly withdrawn the deal,
