It seems that the future of gaming is headed towards a new era, one where consoles are no longer necessary. This idea is being hinted at with the recent announcement that the three most recent Call of Duty games will be available for streaming through Xbox Cloud Gaming. This includes the highly anticipated Black Ops 6, which will be available on the day of its release.
However, while this news may be exciting for gamers, it also sheds light on the struggles that Xbox has been facing in the console market. Sales have been declining steadily over the past year, and Microsoft has even started releasing some of their games on competing consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
Despite this setback, it's not the end for Xbox. As a company as large as Microsoft, this may just be the start of a new chapter. And with the rise of cloud gaming, the need for a physical console may become obsolete. This is evident in the fact that the new Call of Duty games will be available to stream on almost any device that can connect to a controller.
However, there is a catch. In order to stream these games, one must be a member of Game Pass Ultimate, which costs £14.99 a month. And of course, a stable and fast Wi-Fi connection is necessary for a smooth gaming experience. This may be a challenge for those in less developed areas, but for those in large cities, it's a promising step towards the future of gaming.
It's also worth noting that the Switch and PlayStation 5 are not listed as compatible devices for streaming. This could be a strategic move by Microsoft to minimize direct competition with these consoles. After all, owning the whole of Activision Blizzard, the company behind Call of Duty, gives them a significant advantage in the gaming market.
However, not all of Activision Blizzard's games have made it to Game Pass. This could be due to Microsoft's desire to have players focus on the newest Call of Duty games, rather than splitting their attention between multiple titles. Additionally, the technicalities of Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, particularly in the UK, may also be a contributing factor.
Despite these challenges, it's clear that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a crucial game for Xbox.
