Dude you just said the same thing on GAF. How about we make a bet. If you're wrong you take a lifetime ban, If you're right, I will take a lifetime ban. Mods you good with this?
Phil Spencer confirms Overwatch, Diablo and Call Of Duty are headed to Game Pass
- Thread starter John Elden Ring
- Start date
I agree. Phil could've cleared any doubts on that today with this statement but left it very ambiguous, which usually means only one thing. In this case, the new COD releases won't come to GamePass "Day 1", but I think MS could still do something clever here.
Remember when FH5 was released early by a couple days? I'm sure MS saw that revenue coming in and are thinking about extending that strategy with COD. I wouldn't be surprised if they do a 1-month exclusivity for new COD to Xbox and PC, then afterwards, release it on PlayStation and GamePass. They know a lot of people will probably rush to buy it on Xbox & PC, but since it's just a one-month early release, those willing to wait for the new campaign on PS can just...wait the month and then buy it.
I am curious if the game releases with a native version in GamePass or if it's just a cloud version, though. I'm thinking it could be the latter. This would redefine a lot what it means to be "Day 1" in GamePass but MS's already opened the door for this with FH5 and I don't see them stopping the practice with just that title.
They'll probably do something similar with Diablo IV, again, like with FH5. Release it to buy a couple of weeks or month early on Xbox & PC, then bring (maybe just cloud version?) to GamePass and native PS5 release.
Or, they can do Xbox/PC/PlayStation releases a month ahead of GamePass but where being a GamePass sub gets you the game for even cheaper, and maybe some perks exclusive to those with GamePass subscriptions (somewhat like the Riot Games stuff on PC GamePass).
There's just one problem: Phil Spencer didn't actually say they are putting new COD releases in GamePass Day 1. The statement is intentionally ambiguous on that note.
So this could very much just be about the legacy content for COD into GamePass, which was always a no-brainer. Overwatch is going F2P so it doesn't matter if it's in GamePass or not. Diablo is the only IP listed that may suggest they're talking about new releases for COD in GamePass Day 1, but we also know Diablo sells nowhere near as much as COD, and it may even be a stretch to say if any of this is in reference to "Day 1" releases.
OP
OP
I'd suggest you to include this in the OP because even they said it many times, some people refuse to think they'll continue to release new CoD games on PS as they do with the Minecraft IP:
I think MS wants to put all the next CoD games day one on GP, but that a potential deal signed with Sony for the next few CoDs may prevent them for doing so for these next few games. In fact, we may see them on PS Plus before seeing them in GP, as happened with Deathloop.
After over a year or a year and a half after launch these games that have a deal with Sony could be released on GP, if they signed a similar deal than the one they had with RE Village.
And then the games released after them, the future CoD games not included in any deal with Sony, would release day one on PS5 and GP. Notice that what Phil said in the article -this time clearly- is that the future releases of CoD games will continue launchin (and also day one) on PS. As they do with Minecraft.
I've threadmarked this.
Jaytechtv made a great point on his show today that by announcing COD and the other games will be on gamepass this early, that it effectively kills the sales of those games this holiday on the xbox platform. Really bizarre they would announce that this early even if that was the inevitable plan. Something to note they never spcecify which call of dutys and the words "day one" were not used, even though i assume they will be.,
Nope. Doesn't have the games I want still. It's basically flushing money.When the best deal gets better all the time.
Again, Game Pass is the Sizzler of the gaming industry. Cheap garbage to fill up your time, when time is your most important asset. Not cash.
I think they will release on Xbox, PC, PS day one, as Phil said. Won't be any timed exclusives, but Xbox will get exclusive content and open beta and pre-order early access, just like PlayStation gets does.
The games won't launch on Gamepass because that'll be just too much revenue lost. Xbox can hide behind the PlayStation's marketing agreement at least until 2025.
You could've stopped after the first two sentences and it would've been fine since it's just your opinion. But you had to go further. Keep coping, my friend
That is also your opinion. I agree with him. There's nothing exciting at all on GP.You could've stopped after the first two sentences and it would've been fine since it's just your opinion. But you had to go further. Keep coping, my friend
Yeah totally agree.
I just wouldn’t be surprised if They treat it like Starfield or Halo etc, day 1 gamepass.
I wouldnt even be surprised if after a couple of years they pull it from Playstation all together. MS logic doesn‘t always make sense and they have the deep pockets to support their mistakes lol
I think they are willing to lose alot more money then any of us think, all so they can claim the quote from the Highlander….. there can be only one!!!
He has been saying things since zenimax purchase that regulators can now use against him with this purchase.
Hopefully the ms lawyers dont tell him to stfu because i would love to see the deal go under because of something he said that triggered regulators.
lol what are you 12 that you want to "bet" at every comment someone makes and every time someone shares what they think? lolSo no bet I guess?
If you don't find anything exciting on Gamepass, you hate gaming! Period. Why do you hate gaming so much, @Swift_Star?
Tell us. Why couldn't you enjoy Powerwash Simulator ffs? WHY?!
Nah dog. I have a new Banging PC, PS5, and a switch. And no one I know uses GAmepass on PC. And even with GAMEPASS being much better on Xbox consoles than what is offered on PC. Outside of a few titles like Gungrave Gore, and Warhammer those really are the only games for rest of this fall I'm somewhat interested in.
I mean people get excited for halo, gears, forza, fable, avowed ect. Only super hardcore people actually specifically follow certain studios like Obsidian who look forward to pentiment, and shit like that.
Pentiment is a fan type of title, as in it has a lot of the cheeky stuff people have come to love from Obsidian me included. 2022 has been literally barren for anything big and exciting on gamepass.
There is no denying that. Now if you are into smaller titles, and like more AA style of games like Plagues tale, like Atomic hear, like scorn, then yea gamepass looks like theres some things to be excited for.
But the average person/family is not paying $300-500 to focus on playing those. They might try them which I think is what Microsoft wants out of how they are treating their curation.
They want people to get into other things besides big, expensive games because if they dont, then all people will do is what currently is happening to the subscriptions services for entertainment. They will sub for a couple months when they know when big content drops, then fall off once there's nothing there.
Thats what has been happening post Covid. People are getting more selective in what they are watching/sub to.
Thats going to be Microsfot's hardest thing to combat, and we are seeing it currently with how they need Activision/Blizzard to go through because they need big bombastic content on the regular in their service to keep people interested long term.
As it stand now, Gamepass in terms of the amount of games, and value is great. But in terms of getting people who enjoy big bombastic games it aint cutting the cheese.

What's the big deal? if you're right, you'll never have to hear from me ever again. But like most kids now adays, you're all talk. And for the record I'm a grown women.
That's even sadder that you're a grown woman but have to act like a childWhat's the big deal? if you're right, you'll never have to hear from me ever again. But like most kids now adays, you're all talk. And for the record I'm a grown women.
And you know I can actually just put you ignore, and I won't have to hear from you ever again? I don't have to bet to achieve that
