Official or rumor?

Regardless, I'm expecting back catalogue games to get added. I doubt they can add current year COD because of marketing deal (regardless if they want to). No clue on Diablo.

alright, if you think a "business update" and not an immediate debunk by Phil, is good news, then its all good if you want to stay positive.

Just be prepared for the opposite of what you expect.

Um, you seem to be mistaking me with someone else. Read the other threads on the topic(s). You will see posts from me. Not a single one suggesting they are going to share good news.

And one other thing - I used the term soften the impact. I didn't say make things better or even alright.

Didn’t they say CoD won’t be added to Gamepass? What I did notice is that CoD titles are far more frequently on sale and with bigger discounts since MS took over.

Which ones? I just checked a few on a price tracker and the discounts are no more frequent nor higher than previously.

Some of you gamepass fiends are crazy

Just want every game for cheap or free*

Won't make sense to include Activision games on Gamepass, how people expect they get money from those IPs if they put them on Gamepass....

I think they need to get the ftc off their backs first.

That's the vibe I get.

Aparently part of Phils update next week is you can play the Activision/Blizzard games first on PS+ and later in the year for Xbox gamepass, he hears you.

All of them. Maybe my memory is fuzzy but I kinda remember always struggling to find CoD for a better discount. Now I can regularly get Modern Warfare for around 20 EUR. Remember even Black Ops not going below that on Steam and that is an old ass game.

That was their strategy before this acquisition.

Was quite literally about to type the exact same line. So long as the FTC litigation remains open, I doubt they’ll add much, if anything, from the ABK library.

And then it also depends on what their “new strategy” is.

They should just rip NUKETOWN from both Blackops 1 and 2, and make it 2gb and a DL on gamepass... millions would just play the F out of it... add some skins to make $$$, win

No.

Go here, choose Xbox prices and find one which is cheaper than it used to be, I can't.

It's hard to read how the regulators would play into a decision like that. In the EU/UK putting the games on GP was part of the argument they put forward to justify the deal, that was the big positive for consumers.

You've got to wonder if Satya stopped believe captain lies, Phil spenders, bullshit when Bobby was on the stand and said gamepass killed sales

 

[Havoc2049]

I want the OG Call of Duty on PC Game Pass and that Blizzard 16-bit collection on XB Game Pass and I'll be happy.

I don't care about gamepass, but it's my impression that that's the promise of the service, no?
