The smartest thing Microsoft could do right now is get all the older CODs into gamepass. If they had come out with that 4 weeks ago then the GP numbers and consoles sales would have gone through the roof IMO
Xbox will get a HUGE payday regardless if gamepass subscriptions increase or not. They will get 100% of profit when cod is played on pc and xbox, and 70% of profit everywhere else. Theyre about to get probably their most significant boost in revenue and net value since the existence of xbox.
I would assume the hope is ppl sub to gamepass for CoD but stay for Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable, Pschonauts, Crash, Flight Sim, Starfield/Fallout/ES, Doom, and all their other IPs that they have to start capitalizing on.
Yup, that's the promise of subscription services in general. Xbox has a fantastic first party lineup that they can guarantee will always be in Game Pass eventually and (now) on the Ultimate tier day one. They've done a really really good job of building that up through XGS (those aquistions only completed in like 2019/2020), Zenimax purchase, and now ABK. People blame COD for the move to ultimate only day one, but I'd say it's more that Xbox has a crap ton of first party games now. When GP first launched you were getting promised like one first party AAA day one a year (if that; some years you just got grounded and we're happy). Now there's a lot and something for everyone. In the wake of Xbox not wanting to push exclusives as hard anymore, they've setup a system where first party means something more. I think Microsoft is really really counting on the COD crowd to prove game pass's worth in that regard. Inticing more Microtransaction purchases with the 10% discount, freeing up gamers wallets to buy other games (in this case hoping the former only COD gamers now buy something else), and introducing gamers to more games that they "might as well try since it's included" (again this will be huge with the COD gamers since they typically only buy and play COD). This won't be the case for everyone, but I'd say it pays off big if it's just the outcome of say 20% of the COD gamers on Xbox.
I think just cod alone if you are likely to play for the year you are probably better off getting gamepass ultimate cos you need xbox live and to purchase cod which puts you close to same cost but get all the extra games.
They're hoping you'll join for CoD, play that then stay subbed another month for Stalker, then stay subbed again for Indiana Jones then stay another month for Avowed and so on
Never say never. Maybe it’s cope but I want that level of hype for gaming again. I don’t care if it comes from Xbox or PlayStation. I want that halo midnight release type hype
Of course COD is huge, but Xbox has also done a great job of being loud with marketing recently in general. Previous years they'd get quiet after the summer Xbox showcase. This year the information shower hasn't stopped and they've had a great showing at every event they can. Arguably the best Xbox Games Showcase in June, biggest gamescon booth in August, Tokyo Game Show livestream in September, and Partner Preview in October. They're saying loud and clear Xbox is here to stay and it has something to offer everyone. Hopefully it pays off immensely. The next earnings call is going to be really important (and the one after it will be even more important).
When it comes to CoD and Xbox I feel like we’re not getting a real CoD Xbox made game until 2026/27 because every call of duty’s development brings 2/3 years before
I don’t believe that they were hoping for a significant subscriber boost in the very short term. Of course, CoD will play its part (assuming it’s good), but the full subscriber potential will only unfold in the medium to long term, once, first, a mobile xbox device is on the market (mainly for the Asians) and, second, the availability of Game Pass titles via the cloud is more widespread and independent of devices. The Activision Blizzard lineup also offers enormous potential, for example with the prospect that WoW will not only be added to Game Pass, but (very likely) will also receive a console port and cloud capabilities.
Many developers who joined Game Pass hoping it would be profitable have expressed that it's not worthwhile for new games. For older games that aren't generating much revenue, it can be beneficial to put them on Game Pass to gain some recurring income. However, in the early days of Game Pass, Microsoft offered upfront bonuses to developers for making their games exclusive to the platform, but those days are over, as Microsoft has stated.
Maybe I’m in the minority, but I don’t want Game Pass. I just don’t jump around to different games, I finish a game and move on. I get the Netflix feeling with Game Pass where there’s tons to watch and I just end up watching nothing.
Thank you. Even though I am now a desktop Linux user and only play in Switch/PC it is nice to stay up to date on all things tech, so i look forward to your videos
I don’t know about everyone else but when I try to play games on PC using the Xbox launcher, it almost never launches the games. Always get hit with an error when the game is trying to boot up.
Everything they get from Gamepass is extra in this case. The people that have always bought COD every year will continue to do so and being on Gamepass will open it back up to people that haven’t played it in a while or new comers. It’s a win win situation
So long as there's enough to play on GamePass i honestly don't care about owning my games. I have shelves full of old games that i loved when I played them but I've never gone back to and I never plan to. There's so much new stuff I don't need to go back, the closest I get to that is finding a series a few games in then checking out the older ones that are on GamePass like the Yakuza series. Seems like there's some people who like going back and playing for nostalgia, but I'm not one of those people, just give me new experiences.
Basically, Microsoft should lay off their entire marketing staff and partner with Wieden+Kennedy worldwide marketing and advertising and do some brand building with Xbox, Call of Duty, and Gamepass. Make sure everyone knows what GamePass is around the world. My grandma should know what GamePass is and what Xbox is. They need to do most of their work here., For those not in the know, Wieden+Kennedy made Nike's "JUST DO IT!" campaign. Also they worked with Coke to make it a worldwide brand. So, they are THE BEST in the business and they can help Xbox topple PlayStation by building a proper brand worldwide.
When cloud gaming from Xcloud getting huge upgrade to bitrate etc i think we will see Xbox growing. I don't believe Consol gaming is growing gen after gen
I can't say I'm expecting a large growth to game pass because they have barely advertised that call of duty is on game pass. I think the only time I saw it advertised was in a trailer on the Xbox channel. Nothing outside of that. No Xbox branding. No game pass branding
I think Microsoft is going to be disappointed about the gamepass numbers because they have done such a poor job educating consumers that call or duty is going to gamepass and more importantly what gamepass even is. I’m in Australia and I haven’t see anything that tries Call of duty to gamepass. It’s only really the hardcore community that really knows about this the majority of consumers wouldn’t have a clue. Xbox’s messaging has been so poor it’s just not going to move the needle.
We’ve all seen how anti-consumer Sony and Microsoft can be so imagine how either might behave towards their customers if they didn’t have competition. Guys like Phil Spencer can seem very personable but they’re ALL sharks. All big corporations are the same. So all gamers should be hoping Xbox succeeds for competition’s sake if for no other reason.
@@MrMightyZ no I don't give a company a pass just because I'm not gonna support the losing side unless they come back and do better , you know actually compete , and im not supporting an anti consumer rental service , that's not competing taking away consumer say and influence Xbox is a joke and anyone supporting them is a clown at this point
@@jared5706 I watched an editorial video here on RUclips about how everybody thinks gamepass is bad for business EXCEPT the devs who signed up for it. They ALL said stuff like “Gamepass gave us financial security”, “Gamepass gave us job security”. “Gamepass enabled us to produce our next game” etc etc etc Everybody said they loved it and nobody forced any of them to sign up.
The model doesn’t work when you don’t keep content off other platforms. Xbox should have had exclusive maps, zombies, early drop etc for CoD only on Xbox to move the brand forward. Other games should be held off their competitors platforms too else, what motivation is there to goto Xbox.
It does work. It 100% works. Remember the only numbers that matter are the ones with the $ in front of them on the balance sheet. It doesn't matter if they sell copies of COD on Xbox, Steam, PlayStation. It doesn't matter if they sell Game Pass subs. All that matters, is that through all the ways COD can generate a profit, it does. Xbox is a multifaceted gaming division and has been for years. If they sell 3 copies on Xbox, sell 2 Game Pass subs and sell 2OM copies on PS5. Xbox wins.
As a playstation user I'm not buying COD at all ill just keep playing warzone and half of the gamepass people were using the $1 trial hack so they will lose subscribers too
Xbox will win either way. Theres, people on xbox who dont use gamepass that will buy a physical copy, and there's people like me who love gamepass and will probably buy a physical copy as well, like me. Then you got the Remakestation fans who will definitely 💯 purchase it, and Nintendo switch fans will purchase it first time in awhile on Nintendo so yeah Xbox for the 🏆 ✌️ 💪🏽
Sounds like your a fool who just likes giving money to Microsoft for nothing they double dipping on you and you celebrating that fact , how much of a bigger clown do you wanna make yourself look?
On any of them are you giving them money ? People wernt buying they games before so anything is a plus to them compared to before as it takes away the influence the consumer has Before you wouldn't buy a game it would flop and they would have to do better now they put out games they dont do well but they still make money on gamepass , completely removed the consumer influence unless there's mass gamepass cancellations but that just don't happen
Aint getting VR on Xbox thats actual innovation which they don't even attempt anymore too focused on an anti consumer rental service and getting games on phones.......VR doesn't fit that mindset or goals
Imagine if Xbox grit their teeth and make all 1st party games exclusive to the box. No PC, No PS, No Switch.trying their damnnest Everything becoming more and more expensive and MS is doing their best to get rid of any excuse I have to buy into Xbox ecosystem.
I can already remotely play the Xbox games that I have on my console. What's new about playing the games that are bought? I remote-play my Xbox all the time.
@jasonredmon4598 - What you're not understanding is that Xcloud DOESN'T REQUIRE A CONSOLE to play your games. With remote play, you do need a console. All you need is a GamePass Sub. Enjoy your Games.
Have shorts lined up for when you’re going on holiday. That way you’ll still have content going out keeping algorithms alive. Golf ruins a good walk, if you must play it. Do it on Xbox instead. In the comfort, warmth & dryness of your own home. Saves on day care costs too lol Happy Gaming

@@bdsams please don't do shorts , or any more videos for that matter, we don't need people who just pander to an audience for views , your part of the problem with your total BS Oh and stop pushing that anti consumer trash rental service and start thinking about what your supporting
People sign up & for a month maybe 2. Not even Netflix retains a lot of it subscribers. I think that it could be that people sign up for COD drop & some might get 3 months for Indiana Jones. That might give a false representation of actual game pass subscribers. I think the bigger # they should look at is retention & new members from the quarter after these games have sold. The vast majority of revenue will come from COD will probably come from PS, imho.
Pretty much. When I bought my gaming laptop it came with one or 3 months of Xbox game pass ultimately, and overall it was ok, the game selection at the time wasn’t the best but the second my subscription ended I never renewed it
I don't think they are going to do well, because they are not advertising. If Xbox was my company to lead, I would be advertising both GamePass and Xbox on Call of Duty. Xbox's biggest problem always has been their advertising and marketing. This is where they fail. Does the average person around the world what GamePass is? How it can save them money? Do they know that Xbox owns Call of Duty worldwide? Do they associate Xbox with Call of Duty and Gamepass with Call of Duty? This is why I think it will fail. They need to do heavy marketing around the world and they don't do that EVER! This is Xbox's biggest problem of why they can't compete with PlayStation.
I'll try out Call of Duty on Game Pass and if it is really good the new one then I will buy the game on Xbox, at least I'll get the test the game rather than just buy it and regret it later if the game were to suck.
So your gonna pay for it twice , all your saying there is your happy for Xbox to double dip on you did you write that comment intending to sound stupid ? Cause that's all you did ? Xbox execs love players like you it's like shooting fish in a barrel
@@weplayvrgames 20 bucks for game pass but if the game turns out to be crap then I won't buy it, then if the game is actually good or great, then I'll considered buying it a month later since I'll have one month of Game Pass to play it. I'm basically using Game Pass as a Blockbuster rental.
So you're going to pay to play the game like a trial to see if you like it. And then if you do, you're going to pay for it again. Now that makes zero sense.
@@NotYours-bp5fx well I'm basically renting the game when I'm using Game Pass and I'm going to test it out and see if its worth buying, what part are you not getting, COD in the past has a lot of issues in case you missed the last decade or so, that's why I'm basically going to use Game Pass to rent the game and see if the game is worth buying or not, I got burned too many times with Call of Duty on PlayStation 4 and 3 before COD Ghosts & The Recent COD MW3 Remake DLC are good indications to use Game Pass rather than just buy it.
They have repeatedly said game pass is only one revenue source. Game Pass is just one part of it. Not everyone wants a subscription and they’re more than happy to sell the game the old fashioned way too.
As a console. Which they knew over a decade ago. As a multi-faceted game business, they're doing better business than ever. The only numbers that matter are the ones with the $ in front of them on the balance sheet.
I hate to say it, but Xbox as a console isn’t it anymore. They have no clue what they are doing and it seems that they are more concerned with cloud than console and it’s super evident. I’ve been an Xbox fan since the OG Xbox.
@@apocMTL how ? Just think about it further than "oh cheap price alot of games " and you realize what gamepass actually is , it's you giving your money to Xbox execs to determine what it supports for you You have no power of vote with your wallet , you have no influence as a consumer when you subscribe to gamepass.....that's the real cost Want a real world example let's take two failures of games , redfall and Conchord Conchord : people voted with wallets Sony had to pull the game and issue refunds Redfall: poor release......still made gamepass money.......nothing happened......there was no consumer influence , Xbox execs still took your money and just moved on to the next thing that will ultimately disappoint It also just inspires poor development, devs have already made the money from Xbox so there's no pressure to actually sell it , we want these devs making games for us , not Xbox execs because what execs want and what we want are completely different We want good games , execs want low cost high return
@@weplayvrgames - the FACT that CONCORD is one of the BIGGEST FLOPS IN GAMING HISTORY tops anything that Microsoft has done. That's a stink that'll FOREVER BE WITH Sony and the PlayStation brand.
Do any of you fanboys have the backbone to speak up with your wallets , if cod , indy , avowed etc are a disappointment will you cancel gamepass.....if not , how do you expect them to do better they still making the money off you otherwise and nothing will change You failed to make a stance with redfall , you failed to make an impact with starfield now is your chance to stop letting them walk all over you Stop supporting an anti consuemr rental service

I don't like game pass i never have and I never will!
You are a bit too pessimistic at times Brad, I admit. There's no reason to be in this case too.
I'll try out Call of Duty on Game Pass and if it is really good the new one then I will buy the game on Xbox, at least I'll get the test the game rather than just buy it and regret it later if the game were to suck.
So your gonna pay for it twice , all your saying there is your happy for Xbox to double dip on you did you write that comment intending to sound stupid ? Cause that's all you did ? Xbox execs love players like you it's like shooting fish in a barrel
@@weplayvrgames 20 bucks for game pass but if the game turns out to be crap then I won't buy it, then if the game is actually good or great, then I'll considered buying it a month later since I'll have one month of Game Pass to play it. I'm basically using Game Pass as a Blockbuster rental.
@@weplayvrgamesbro u sound so desperate in these comments, are u one of those people that’s mad Xbox owns ABK or that the game isn’t on ps plus?
So you're going to pay to play the game like a trial to see if you like it. And then if you do, you're going to pay for it again. Now that makes zero sense.
@@NotYours-bp5fx well I'm basically renting the game when I'm using Game Pass and I'm going to test it out and see if its worth buying, what part are you not getting, COD in the past has a lot of issues in case you missed the last decade or so, that's why I'm basically going to use Game Pass to rent the game and see if the game is worth buying or not, I got burned too many times with Call of Duty on PlayStation 4 and 3 before COD Ghosts & The Recent COD MW3 Remake DLC are good indications to use Game Pass rather than just buy it.
They have repeatedly said game pass is only one revenue source. Game Pass is just one part of it. Not everyone wants a subscription and they’re more than happy to sell the game the old fashioned way too.
Yes. They plan on being a major publisher and so they’ll make money on steam and PlayStation too
@@EggEnjoyer exactly. They have said Game Pass is only 15% of revenue and they expect it to be that way.
I hope that Black Ops 6 fails to move the game pass numbers so that we can be done with this subscription experiment!

Awww 😢
Xbox! 🎉🎉
EXbox.
Judging from the overwhelming sentiment around Xbox on RUclips, Reddit, forums, Twitter, Tiktok, IG, and teenagers; Xbox is cooked.
You are cooked
@@revben your in denial
As a console. Which they knew over a decade ago. As a multi-faceted game business, they're doing better business than ever. The only numbers that matter are the ones with the $ in front of them on the balance sheet.
I hate to say it, but Xbox as a console isn’t it anymore. They have no clue what they are doing and it seems that they are more concerned with cloud than console and it’s super evident. I’ve been an Xbox fan since the OG Xbox.
This might be a big mistake for them to release this on GP.
Gamepass was always the biggest mistake , and should never have been supported by any consumers , not if you have any sense
@@weplayvrgames They lost the regular console war and consumers are the big winners. It's not complicated
@@weplayvrgamesthat’s a weird take but ok
@@apocMTL digital subscriptions are inherently anti-consumer
@@apocMTL how ? Just think about it further than "oh cheap price alot of games " and you realize what gamepass actually is , it's you giving your money to Xbox execs to determine what it supports for you
You have no power of vote with your wallet , you have no influence as a consumer when you subscribe to gamepass.....that's the real cost
Want a real world example let's take two failures of games , redfall and Conchord
Conchord : people voted with wallets Sony had to pull the game and issue refunds
Redfall: poor release......still made gamepass money.......nothing happened......there was no consumer influence , Xbox execs still took your money and just moved on to the next thing that will ultimately disappoint
It also just inspires poor development, devs have already made the money from Xbox so there's no pressure to actually sell it , we want these devs making games for us , not Xbox execs because what execs want and what we want are completely different
We want good games , execs want low cost high return
I assume you meant "biggest WEAK"? And why is the Series X in your thumbnail showing it covered in splattered poop? 🤔🤨
Uhhh... Pretty sure he meant "WEEK"... Am I not getting some joke here? 😅
@@nickstark8479 the fact that Xbox has been a weak showing for the last what decade or more ?
@@weplayvrgames - the FACT that CONCORD is one of the BIGGEST FLOPS IN GAMING HISTORY tops anything that Microsoft has done. That's a stink that'll FOREVER BE WITH Sony and the PlayStation brand.
Do any of you fanboys have the backbone to speak up with your wallets , if cod , indy , avowed etc are a disappointment will you cancel gamepass.....if not , how do you expect them to do better they still making the money off you otherwise and nothing will change
You failed to make a stance with redfall , you failed to make an impact with starfield now is your chance to stop letting them walk all over you
Stop supporting an anti consuemr rental service
