They want to boost Gamepass subs. Xbox has been disappointed with the slow growth of Gamepass ever since the Covid boost ended. They are betting big on CoD being a big Gamepass draw, they are hoping that most of the 15m+ who play CoD on Xbox or PC will sub to Gamepass and stay subbed. That combined with the gamepass price increases will substantially boost their profitability in the long run.
It's a gamble though, CoD sales on two platforms could largely collapse, while some CoD fans may not sub permanently, but only sub for a few months then drop it when they get bored of CoD MP, until the next year's CoD releases.
