If you cast your mind all the way back to December of 2022, you may remember a story here at Pure Xbox about a group of random "gamers" who were suing Microsoft over the company's attempt to acquire Activision Blizzard.

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 first stopped its $1 trial for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass in March last year, before bringing it back and nerfing it down to just 14 days instead of a full month. The Xbox maker then briefly removed the $1 trial just days before Starfield ’s debut in September.

As expected, Xbox Game Pass' offerings for the rest of October mostly consist of Call of Duty games, but Starcraft is coming too.

The eclectic mix of stuff coming to Xbox Game Pass over the next few weeks includes some Call of Duty games, some nasty zombies, StarCraft, a South Park RPG, and a wonderful indie game about a growing hole.

Black Ops 6 makes its debut, Microsoft has removed its £1/$1 Game Pass trial deal. As you can see in the image below, taken by Eurogamer this morning, the Game Pass page currently only shows the full prices for a month on the subscription service.

Black Ops 6 is just around the corner, and many fans are still wondering if the new Activision game will be playable on Xbox Cloud. There’s good news for all of them, as the company has just confirmed that 3 titles from the franchise will be coming to Xbox Cloud Gaming via Xbox Game Pass.
