Good to know. With all the changes it always makes you wonder if they are going to change things up there.
CoD day one will be quite the advertisement for the service.

“And you’re going to see some more really big games going into Game Pass later this year.”
Wonder what these are
What else does MS have for 2024 besides Hellblade and CoD Black Ops 9 or whatever this next one is? I honestly don’t know.
I guess there were those rumors of Avowed and Indy hitting this year.

There is very intentional language being used by Bond in this interview.
I don’t trust a single thing that Microsoft says or any of their bullshit management group.
Very careful and calculated response of complete bullshit.
Bond is a slimy person and Xbox has become a poison swamp.

She could literally just be talking about what is already announced. It's one of their biggest years ever for GP. Hellblade, Avowed, Indiana Jones. Not surprised if Kunitsu-Gami (Capcom) is this year. Probably Gears next year. Activision, who knows. But they're going to say something since they're having that Call of Duty event after their Xbox Event.“And you’re going to see some more really big games going into Game Pass later this year.”

Indy would be a great bonus at the end of the year along with CoD. Year would really be packed if Avowed hit somewhere this year as well.

XBox leadership would never lie, mislead, embellish, or obfuscate. They are to be trusted wholeheartedly.

These morons really are fucking dumb as a bunch of rocks! Gamepass has completely ruined the brand yet they want to still go all in on it. Self destruction must be the idea here from these clowns. Xbox is a joke and the people running it into oblivion are morons of the highest degree.

They have never said Call of Duty Black Ops 5 will be available day 1 on Gamepass. If it were true, you would think they would be screaming it from the rooftops. She could be easily referring to older Call of Duty games. It's weird she wouldn't use that moment to say Black OPs 5, the biggest release of the year. Especially when Xbox is getting buried at this very moment

Some big third party deals, probably.
I think LaD: Infinite Wealth is a guarantee, all recent Yakuza games go on GP 6~ months after release.

Yeah and there’s also Stalker 2 and isn’t Space Marine 2 a GamePass title? Ara and 33 Immortals too, I guess there is some good shit coming.

First time in these threads on GAF? Some of these posts are people who have spent years desperately throwing shit at the wall and hoping something sticks when it comes to the end of GamePass. There is nothing anyone can say or anything that can happen that will change the posts or threads. Just look at the spin already happening in this thread. And I love reading it.
I mean you literally have someone trying to argue that “across the entire slate” doesn’t mean everything
Look into my post history you will see I am not into system wars, so yeah you could say that
Seems given the discussions on Microsoft and Gampass going on I thought it might be interesting and worth debating despite who's 'side' you are on.

I have been saying for awhile now they were going to expand the perks of Gamepass and you are somewhat on the right path

I don't do MP but I wouldn't mind all those legacy CoD campaigns on the service.
Has been a long time since I replayed Infninte Warfare, which I still maintain is the best Killzone campaign we never got.

Yeah, I have zero interest in CoD. I'd try some old campaigns but that's it. Probably not my thing, but I haven't really played it ever.

You're right, the campaigns are a good romp. I'll check them out for that. Just been out of MP mood for a long time.

I would replay so many campaigns that I no longer have since I traded the disks in

I think if they say anything else the Satya will immediately chop them.
It benefits them (and the remained of their fanbase who still cling on to their every word for whatever reason) to put up this pretence that the whole industry is crumbling when in actual fact it's just them.
All self inflicted as well.

Sorry, we're not a sucker like you to believe anything that comes out of a Xbox executive's mouth. So keep pretending like you're the smart one.First time in these threads on GAF?

She maybe cannot promise anything, but she will be involved with internal discussions no doubt and have an good idea of the direction Microsoft want to take with gaming. No?
But I get that Sarah Bond and Phil are the PR front also

What if it is announced every game at the Xbox Showcase is day 1 Game Pass and that is why CoD has its own Direct!

How does this end the debate? It certainly leaves the door open for not every single first-party game to come to Game Pass, as I read it.

Day one could mean so much. Day twenty one, day one hundred and one, day 364+one. Stop being such a sucker

Yeah and her face when asked about the closures. Looked like she was trying to swallow something foul. I know the face, it’s when you’re told to do something you disagree with.

They can literally reverse course on any decision at any moment, as we just saw with Tango.
They could issue a statement in September saying "We've decided not to release COD on Game Pass at launch for strategic reasons." and then follow that with a paragraph that reads like they're listening to fan feedback and giving them what they want. They'll then talk in circles when they get interviewed.
Same with the idea of them putting out next generation Xbox hardware - they said they're working on it and it's going to be the biggest leap ever. They could change their mind and kill it anytime up until the units are being shipped to the stores.

I honestly would not get your hopes up about having COD on game pass day 1, they will find some way of making you pay extra for it

I think most of us are expecting price hikes, it’s what all sub services do. Eventually they might reach a price where it is not worth it for myself, can’t speak for others.

Do people seriously believe that there is some untapped market of people who don't play games or buy consoles, but then will rush to stores to buy a Series S/X because CoD is available on gamepass. 
Like WTF is this? COD going on gamepass will just lead to higher subscription costs, more MTX stuff, etc. This is so outrageously dumb.
Silver lining is that something like this will just cause CoD to become even more of a complete shit show.

I wonder how many law suits would Ms loose if someone really wanted to contest all the false information their executives throw at interviews... there's just blatant false advertising every 3 to 6 months coming out from this people's mouths. They dont even try to go aroung anymore.. they just lie and fuck it.
The pinnacle has been the Bethesda trial "yes judge the games will remain multiplat" .... two days later... Nooop lol fuck you!

Oh, in that case I see what you're saying. You were meaning to say 'whole slate' is technically not definitive phrasing, right? If so I agree.
