Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 releases next Friday, October 25, for Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. If you haven't preordered a copy yet, there's still time to secure the standard physical edition with release-day delivery at major retailers. Black Ops 6 is also available digitally for the same price, and there's a $100 Vault Edition that comes with extra content.
All that said, for the first time, you don't actually need to pay $70 to play the latest Call of Duty on launch day. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available on Game Pass for both Xbox and PC on October 25. Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will have access to the game on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC right from the jump. Microsoft has removed its 14-day free Game Pass trial ahead of the game's launch, but we'd recommend buying a 3-Month Game Pass Ultimate subscription from Amazon for $45. This gets you Game Pass Ultimate for $15/month versus $20/month directly from the Xbox Store. Only need access to the PC version? A 3-Month subscription to PC Game Pass is $30 at Amazon versus $12/month ($36) on the Xbox Store.
You actually don't even need an Xbox or PC to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Game Pass Ultimate includes Xbox Cloud Gaming, a library of hundreds of games you can stream on various devices, including smartphones, laptops, and even 4K Fire TV devices. Black Ops 6 lands on Xbox Cloud Gaming on launch day, and Amazon has a terrific bundle deal containing everything you need to start playing: an Xbox Wireless Controller, Fire TV Stick 4K, and 1-Month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for $75. The Fire TV Stick 4K bundle saves you up to $62, and you can even get the new Special-Edition Sky Cipher Controller as part of it. An $80 version of this Xbox Cloud Gaming starter kit comes with the speedier Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and opting for this one saves you up to $67.
