A new Xbox Game Pass perk has been revealed for Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, giving subscribers access to an exclusive cosmetic bundle starting October 15. This new perk arrives just ahead of Warzone’s major update and the transition into Black Ops 7’s futuristic setting.
Warzone’s Upcoming Changes Ahead of Black Ops 7
As Black Ops 7 approaches, Call of Duty: Warzone is preparing for one of its biggest shake-ups yet. Season 1 will mark the merger between Warzone and Treyarch’s new Black Ops sequel, bringing visual, gameplay, and map updates to the beloved battle royale.
The classic Verdansk map is expected to see several changes, while a brand-new Resurgence map called Haven’s Hollow is on the way. Fans are also eager to know when Warzone Solos will return, as the playlist has cycled in and out of rotation in recent seasons.
Xbox Game Pass Price Hike and Tier Changes
The news of this Call of Duty bundle comes shortly after Microsoft’s announcement of major Xbox Game Pass changes.
- Game Pass Core has been renamed Essential,
- Standard is now known as Premium,
- And Ultimate remains but now costs $30 per month, a sharp increase that has frustrated many subscribers.
One reason for this price hike is the integration of Ubisoft+, which adds popular franchises like Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy titles to the library. The upcoming lineup of first-party titles—The Outer Worlds 2, Double Fine’s Keeper, Ninja Gaiden 4, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7—has also been cited as justification for the increase.
Details of the Call of Duty: Warzone Bundle
Starting October 15, all Xbox Game Pass subscribers—regardless of tier—can claim the new Call of Duty bundle. The pack is compatible with both Warzone and Black Ops 6, and includes:
- Two operator skins
- Three weapon blueprints
- One weapon charm
- Two loading screens
- One finishing move
- One spray and weapon decal
- Two one-hour XP tokens
Although the contents have been confirmed, the exact look of these skins and blueprints remains a mystery. Fans are speculating whether this is a previously released Black Ops 6 pack or a brand-new bundle made specifically for Game Pass users.
A Positive Perk Amid Price Increases
While the Game Pass Ultimate price hike has stirred controversy, this new perk offers something tangible in return for subscribers. It’s also notable that the bundle will be available across all membership tiers, providing added value even for those on lower plans.
Historically, most Call of Duty bundles include a single operator and fewer cosmetic items, making this one of the more generous Game Pass perks in recent memory.
Call of Duty’s Busy Season Continues
October is shaping up to be one of the busiest months for the franchise. Black Ops 6’s Halloween-themed Haunting event is live now, featuring horror icons such as Chucky, Jason Voorhees, and the Predator.
Meanwhile, anticipation is building for the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, launching November 14 as a day-one addition to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
