Microsoft has pulled its $1 Xbox Game Pass trial, just days before Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 releases on October 25th. The 14-day Game Pass trial was removed on October 8th, preventing people from signing up for a trial and playing through the Black Ops 6 campaign without paying for a full month of Game Pass.

Microsoft has made the $1 Xbox Game Pass trial unavailable just as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's launch is around the corner.

Microsoft regularly runs promotions for Xbox Game Pass, especially when trying to bring new subscribers into the fold. One of those promos is often a $1 introductory period for new members, but that option seems to have disappeared for now as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 nears its Xbox Game Pass launch.

Microsoft has made the $1 Xbox Game Pass trial unavailable just as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's launch is around the corner. Microsoft is bringing Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to Xbox Cloud Gaming on its launch day (October 25). In addition, Modern Warfare III and the battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone arrive on the platform on the same day.

Microsoft has removed access to a potentially useful option from Xbox Game Pass less than two weeks before the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The Xbox Game Pass subscription option might have given budget-conscious players a chance to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for much less than its retail asking price.

Microsoft is reportedly planning to allow gamers to stream their own titles even if they aren't in the Xbox Game Pass library.

Xbox Game Pass has had some pretty big months over the past years with drops including games like Grand Theft Auto 5, but this second half of October brings a lineup that’s going to overshadow everything before it.

Things aren’t looking good if you were hoping to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Xbox or PC for just $1 at launch. It seems as though Microsoft has removed the option to pick up a 14-day subscription for a reduced price just nine days away from the Black Ops 6 launch.
