Is Black Ops 7 on Game Pass?

Is Call of Duty Black Ops 7 on Game Pass? It almost feels like a silly question to ask at this point. Microsoft owns Call of Duty, and Black Ops 6 launched on Game Pass on day one. But there's always the chance that the monolithic publisher has changed tact, sending you back to storefronts to purchase this year's installment of the hit shooter series at full cost.

Black Ops 7 is, surely, going to land as one of the year's best FPS games. The upcoming Black Ops 7 beta will soon give us our first indication as to how good it's actually going to be, and it's going to have to do something special now that it has some proper triple-A competition in the form of Battlefield 6. But will Game Pass subscribers once again be able to lock and load without having to stump up the big bucks? And if so, will you be able to play with everyone else who's dropping in on day one?

Yes, Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is not only coming to Game Pass, but you'll be able to play it via the service on day one. However, you'll have to have an active subscription for either Game Pass Ultimate or Game Pass PC to get access; the Standard and Core plans are not included.

Eligible Game Pass subscribers will also be able to get their mitts on all of the extra pre-order goodies, including a week's early access (this includes the beta, which they'll also be able to get in on immediately after early access ends) from October 2 until October 8. Subscribers can further snag a few Reznov Operator skins from the Reznov Challenge Pack, which automatically carry over if they've already cleared its trials in Black Ops 6 or Warzone.

And that's all you need to know about Black Ops 7 on Game Pass. Ahead of the full Black Ops 7 release date, read up on how Black Ops 7 Carry Forward works, as well as our predictions for the best BO7 perks you'll want to add to your loadout ASAP.
