Xbox Game Pass may be on the verge of significant changes in its release strategy. According to a rumor circulating on social media, Xbox is considering removing Call of Duty from its day-one release model within the service, as part of a possible internal restructuring following recent changes in the company’s leadership.

The information, which has not been officially confirmed, suggests that the decision is related to the high cost of integrating Activision Blizzard into Microsoft. According to these sources, the financial impact of the operation would have forced a review of some strategic approaches.

Call of Duty may not arrive on day one on Game Pass, according to the rumor

Call of Duty has been one of the most notable pillars since the acquisition of Activision. The possibility of having each installment available from day one on Game Pass was seen as a major move for the service. However, this rumor suggests that this model may change in the future.

There is also talk of more adjustments on the way, although they have not been detailed. For now, everything is speculative and there are no official statements from Xbox.

It’s worth remembering that this type of information should be taken with caution until there is direct confirmation. Game Pass continues to function normally, and no changes have been announced in its release policy. We’ll have to wait and see if March brings any official clarification on the future of the service.

Rumor: Call of Duty is to be pulled from Day 1 Game Pass Release, under Xbox Restructure plans due to the leadership change.

Change is rumored to be happening due to the massive amounts of money it has lost since the takeover of Activision. There will be other changes too… pic.twitter.com/HUUWj732ZU
