Microsoft plans to release the coming installment of the "Call of Duty" videogame to its subscription service, in a departure from its longtime practice of only selling the title independently, a source familiar with the matter said on Friday.

CI Games and Microsoft have agreed to bring Lords of the Fallen and Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 to Game Pass. The exact dates for their arrival are unknown, though the former was rumored for late May.
Hexworks’ Lords of the Fallen is a reboot/sequel to the 2014 Souls-like action RPG of the same name and sold one million copies within ten days of launch. It’s received multiple updates, with the latest (Master of Fate) providing different modifiers for subsequent playthroughs. While it won’t receive further updates, CI Games estimates $100 million in net revenue from the title in the coming years.
Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 launched in 2021 as the latest entry in the stealth sniping series. Like its predecessor, the focus is on missions in large environments with multiple options for sniping at long distances or going head-on against enemies. Stay tuned for details on both titles and their Game Pass release dates in the coming weeks.

Game Pass’s “only (outside) shot” for sustainability is to get GTA 6 or Call of Duty, says former Microsoft senior PR lead
Former Microsoft senior PR lead Brad Hilderbrand has blogged about the recent closure of Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin, making a familiar case that Microsoft’s gaming division are now expected “to cut expenses to the bone” in the wake of the wildly expensive acquisition of Activision Blizzard and amid slowing growth of the Game Pass subscription business. In Hilderbrand’s view, Game Pass will likely never be sustainable or profitable. Microsoft’s only chance on this front, he says, is “to put all the world's biggest games on the service” – namely, Call of Duty, which still earns hundreds of millions annually in direct sales, or GTA 6, which, hahahaha.
