That’s according to a new report by The Verge which says the expanded Xbox Cloud Gaming feature will go into live tests for members of the Xbox Insider program next month. It’s not clear which games will be part of the first wave,

Microsoft has confirmed the next wave of titles coming to Xbox Game Pass for console, PC and Xbox Cloud Gaming. This month’s headline addition is Black Ops 6, which will be the first Call of Duty title to hit Game Pass on day one when it’s released on October 25.

As for the new Xbox Game Pass game in question, it debuted back in 2021, which was notably a very light year in terms of game releases, which is fairly standard of the year after a new console generation starts.

Here's the full Game Pass line up for the end of October, and into the start of November: South Park: The Fractured but Whole (Cloud, Console, and PC), via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard Donut County (Cloud, Console, and PC), via Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, Game Pass Standard.

And Microsoft's decision here also seems to be part of a pattern. The company temporarily removed its $1 offer ahead of Starfield's splashy release in 2023, too. But, remember that you don't need Game Pass to play Black Ops 6. You can buy it on Steam and from the PlayStation store, too, when the game releases on October 25.

Microsoft has discontinued the $1 trial offer for Xbox Game Pass just ahead of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launch, removing a popular way for gamers to explore the service at a reduced cost.
