Microsoft has unveiled an exciting new benefit for Xbox Game Pass members, offering a premium cosmetic bundle for both Call of Duty: Warzone and the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The exclusive content will become available for claim starting October 15, providing subscribers with valuable in-game items as the Call of Duty franchise prepares for significant updates.

Call of Duty: Warzone is undergoing substantial transformations as the franchise moves toward the release of Black Ops 7. The popular battle royale experience will integrate with Treyarch's futuristic Black Ops sequel when Season 1 launches. Activision has confirmed multiple adjustments to the Verdansk map alongside the introduction of Haven's Hollow, a brand-new Resurgence map designed to refresh the gameplay experience.

Xbox Game Pass itself has undergone significant restructuring recently, with the Core membership now rebranded as Essential and the Standard tier becoming Premium. While the Ultimate membership retains its name, Microsoft has increased its price to $30 monthly, a decision that has generated considerable discussion within the gaming community. This price adjustment reflects the addition of Ubisoft+ to the subscription service, expanding the library with numerous titles from the Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy franchises. The upcoming lineup of first-party games, including The Outer Worlds 2, Double Fine's Keeper, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and Ninja Gaiden 4, also contributes to the revised pricing structure.

Following the announcement of Game Pass Ultimate's price increase, Call of Duty has revealed a substantial perk for all Xbox Game Pass subscribers. The cosmetic bundle, launching on October 15, will be compatible with both Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone. The comprehensive package includes two operator skins, three weapon blueprints, a weapon charm, two loading screens, a finishing move, a spray and weapon decal, plus two hour-long XP tokens. Currently, the specific designs of the character skins and weapon blueprints remain undisclosed, building anticipation among the community.

Given the recent Game Pass pricing changes that have caused concern among Xbox gamers, this Call of Duty bundle serves as a welcome addition for subscribers across all membership tiers. The offering appears more substantial than typical Call of Duty cosmetic bundles, which usually contain only one operator and two weapon blueprints. Questions remain about whether this represents a previously released Black Ops 6 bundle or a completely new collection created specifically for this Game Pass promotion, and whether it will eventually become available to all Call of Duty players through the in-game store.

This announcement comes during an exceptionally busy period for Call of Duty enthusiasts. The Halloween-themed Haunting event is currently active in Black Ops 6, introducing horror icons such as Chucky, Jason Voorhees, and the Predator to the game. Additionally, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launches on November 14, just over a month away, and will be available day-one on the Ultimate tier of Xbox Game Pass, continuing Microsoft's commitment to bringing major titles to its subscription service.
