Black Ops 6 Success: The Numbers Will Be Crazy for Xbox and Game Pass | Xbox

Available since October 25, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a very important game for Xbox, having been released directly on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass. It is clear that this strategy, which remains risky given the sales numbers that the series achieves every year, is already starting to pay off since Black Ops 6 will be the first Call of Duty game to have a larger number of players on Xbox than on PlayStation.

The numbers are going to be crazy for Xbox and Game Pass

According to information from the very popular eXtas1s, Black Ops 6 will indeed be a real success for Microsoft and Xbox for several reasons. The first is that this episode will be the most successful Call of Duty game in more than 10 years, an achievement when we remember the success of some works such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare, which was released in 2019.

Even more interestingly, it says it's the first Call of Duty game to have more players on Xbox than PlayStation, with just over half of players on Microsoft's consoles, not counting PC players.

For comparison, we know that, for example 72% of physical sales When Call of Duty Modern Warfare III launched, it was released on PS5 in the UK last year.

PC Game Pass has also been boosted by Black Ops 6

The PC sector also remains affected by the game's release directly on PC Game Pass, since more than half of Black Ops 6 players on PC will be playing the game via PC Game Pass. The game would also have allowed the service to reach a record number of subscribers for a first-day release.

Of course, this is unofficial information, but remember that eXtas1s has proven its reliability on numerous occasions in recent years. For example, it has successfully predicted the release dates of several Activision games on Game Pass, the arrival of Valorant, or even the Xbox Series release

If this information is confirmed, it will nevertheless be good news for Xbox and Game Pass, given the huge investment made by Microsoft through the Activision-Blizzard acquisition.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PC, as well as PS5 and Xbox Series Solid. Obviously, feel free to let us know if you're playing the game and if you're enjoying it via Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass.
