Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has expanded its presence on Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft confirmed that Treyarch and Raven Software's shooter joined Game Pass Premium on September 25, 2026, giving more subscribers another way to access the game through the service.

Black Ops 6 was already included with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. The key change is its addition to Premium, bringing the title to another of Microsoft's current subscription options.

Is Black Ops 6 on Game Pass Premium?

Yes. As of September 25, 2026, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is included with Xbox Game Pass Premium.

Black Ops 6 is now also included in the Xbox Game Pass Premium catalog.

Microsoft's official September lineup lists Black Ops 6 for Cloud, Console, Handheld and PC, with the game now included with Premium while also remaining available through Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

For players who were waiting for another Game Pass option before jumping into Black Ops 6, this is the main change announced for the game this month.

Which Game Pass plans include Black Ops 6?

According to the official September 2026 Xbox Wire lineup, Black Ops 6 is now available with Game Pass Premium and remains included with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.

Availability can vary depending on device, region and specific service features. Players should check the catalog shown on their own account before installing.

Where can you play Black Ops 6 through Game Pass?

Microsoft lists Black Ops 6 on September 25 for Cloud, Console, Handheld and PC.

On PC, the official Black Ops 6 page also identifies the Microsoft Store and PC Game Pass as ways to access the game, alongside versions sold through Battle.net and Steam.

Cloud access depends on Xbox Cloud Gaming requirements and availability, which can vary by region, device and subscription plan.

What does Black Ops 6 include?

Access includes the full Black Ops 6 experience with Campaign, Multiplayer and Round-Based Zombies.

Black Ops 6 is built around three major pillars: Campaign, Multiplayer and Round-Based Zombies.

The Campaign delivers a spy-action story set in the early 1990s. Multiplayer introduced Omnimovement, a system designed to let players chain combat maneuvers in different directions. Zombies also marked the return of the franchise's Round-Based Zombies format.

Its addition to Premium does not represent the launch of a separate edition of Black Ops 6. Instead, the existing game is becoming accessible through another Game Pass subscription option.

Can you still buy Black Ops 6 separately?

Yes. Black Ops 6 remains available as a standalone purchase on supported platforms. Game Pass provides another way to access the title while it remains in the applicable subscription catalog.

The official Call of Duty website lists versions of the game for Xbox, Windows, Battle.net, PlayStation and Steam.

Remember that the Game Pass catalog can change

As with other games offered through the service, Black Ops 6 being part of the catalog should not be interpreted as a guarantee of permanent availability.

Microsoft states that the Game Pass catalog varies over time and by region and device. Players planning to access the game through a subscription should therefore verify its current availability directly through the service.

Black Ops 6 gets another entry point in 2026

The move to Game Pass Premium expands the pool of subscribers who can access one of the major recent Call of Duty releases without relying exclusively on a traditional standalone purchase.

For new players, the key takeaway is straightforward: as of September 25, 2026, Black Ops 6 is also available through Xbox Game Pass Premium, alongside Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
