Xbox's new strategy under the leadership of Asha Sharma continues to gain more details. Earlier this week, it became known that the price of the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription had been reduced, along with the decision not to add new entries in the Call of Duty series to the service immediately after release. Now, according to media reports, the company may compensate for this by expanding the library of classic franchise games.
In the near future, older Call of Duty titles may start appearing in Game Pass, while new releases will remain outside the subscription at launch. This concerns not only relatively recent projects, but also the potential return of the earliest games in the series — all the way back to the original Call of Duty (2003) and its sequels.
At the moment, six games from the series are already available in the Game Pass library, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Call of Duty: WWII, as well as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. At the same time, the oldest of them — WWII — was released only in 2017, leaving more than a dozen series titles outside the service.
