Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the first game in the franchise to debut directly through the Xbox Game Pass catalog, after Microsoft made its purchase of Activision a little over a year ago. Many industry gurus predicted that this would be an impediment to the game itself, resulting in a drop in sales due to the game’s presence on the service. However, Black Ops 6 has become the best premiere of the history franchise.
Just yesterday information appeared that pointed in this direction, talking about the best premiere of the last 10 years. However, the results have gone much further, since Microsoft’s own CEO, Satya Nadella, has confirmed that Black Ops 6 has become the biggest launch in Call of Duty historysetting several records.
The first of the records that Nadella mentions is that of «number of players on the first day»exceeding all expectations that were had about it. As for the second record, this mentions Xbox Game Pass, since thanks to Black Ops 6 it has been possible to break the record for number of “Game Pass subscriptions on a launch day”.

But what is really important about the data that Nadella has shared is the performance that the game has had outside of the Microsoft platform. According to the data they handle, Black Ops 6 has achieved increase sales by 60% on both PlayStation 5 and Steam compared to the numbers harvested last year with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
Finally, it was Activision itself that shared some of the records that Black Ops 6 has managed to overcome in these first days.
