I don't get what your point is. I already acknowledged in the original post that gamepass core users would have to go up to the ultimate tier, but those aren't new gamepass subscribers i.e. they're already in the sub count due to MS renaming xbox live gold.

So the stakes are unbelievably high for COD who can't use the gamepass excuse for low sales.
CoD on Gamepass will be the same as everything on Gamepass: Devalued!

Concepts like Quality and Sales are out of the window, with their Bargain-Subscription Model.

CCU peak launches for CoD HQ(includes MW2/Warzone 2.0/MW3/Black Ops 6):


CCUs during MW2 launch weekend:
Fri - 238,522
Sat - 247,839
Sun - 263,147

CCUs during MW3 launch weekend

Fri - 177,881
Sat - 182,765
Sun - 190,707

CCUs during BLOPS 6 launch weekend:

Fri - 254,379
Sat - 251,251(currently ahead of yesterday by 45k~)
Sun - ???

The all-time peak of 491k was due to MW2 2022 coming out in October and 1 month later Warzone 2.0 which was a separate F2P download. I don't think we're getting back to those kinds of numbers for CoD anytime soon, even if Gamepass wasn't a thing. It was just one of those "you had to be there" moments for the CoD fanbase.

Based on the numbers we're seeing, it looks like BLOPS 6 is going to a bigger launch than MW3 at the very least.
Which isn't a big surprise, MW3 was a half-baked entry just so they could have a yearly game.

Edit: Wrong number
