  "textContent": "Xbox has confirmed that Game Pass subscription prices will drop, but new Call of Duty games will no longer be added to the service on day one.\n\nAs of April 21, the monthly fee for the most expensive tier, Game Pass Ultimate, is decreasing, and PC Game Pass is also seeing a price reduction. This discount comes just a week after a leaked internal memo revealed that the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma believed the service was 'too expensive.'\n\nWhile this is great news for Xbox fans, it also brings a major change to the game library. Team Xbox has announced that new Call of Duty games will no longer arrive on Game Pass on their launch day.\n\n## Call of Duty 2026 Will Not Be on Xbox Game Pass on Day One\n\nStarting with the 2026 CoD developed by Infinity Ward and expected to be Modern Warfare 4, new games in the series will be added to the Ultimate library 'during the next holiday season.' Specifically for MW4, subscribers will likely have to wait until late 2027.\n\nFollowing Microsoft's $70 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which was completed in 2023, new Call of Duty games had been included in Game Pass starting from day one, beginning with Black Ops 6 in 2024. However, following reports that this strategy was actually harming the service, it has been abandoned.\n\nMicrosoft\n\nHowever, the current Call of Duty catalog, which includes Black Ops 7, Modern Warfare (2019), and Vanguard, will remain on Game Pass Ultimate. Additionally, there are plans to bring more older games to the service next year; this could mean titles like Black Ops Cold War or older classics might be added to the library.\n\nDespite this change, Xbox reassured fans by stating that Game Pass Ultimate users will continue to 'access hundreds of games on Xbox console and PC, including current Call of Duty titles, in-game benefits, online console multiplayer, and other major day-one releases.'\n\nWhile Modern Warfare 4 has not been officially announced yet, leaks have already revealed many details, ranging from the game's setting to the return of a controversial weapon.\n\n_For the latest_ gaming guides_and_ system requirements_, you can follow GamingAlly on_ Instagram_,_ Twitter_and Google News._",
