Game Pass Might Lose More Day One Game Releases Than Call of Duty, Says Analyst
Industry analyst Piers Harding-Rolls suggests that Microsoft's decision to remove Call of Duty from day-one Game Pass releases is a strategic move to increase revenue through staggered releases and sales on other platforms. This shift may indicate a broader trend of windowing other first-party titles on the subscription service. Microsoft is also reportedly exploring new Game Pass tiers, including a cheaper option focused on first-party games with cloud gaming limits and a customizable "pick your own plan" model.
