Call of Duty fans have reason to celebrate. Activision Blizzard’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is officially coming to Xbox Game Pass on day one, with a global launch set for November 14, 2025. The next chapter in the iconic Black Ops series will be available across cloud, console, and PC for Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers.

Call of Duty headlines Xbox Game Pass November lineup
Microsoft has confirmed that Black Ops 7 will join Game Pass on launch day as part of the first wave of November 2025 titles. Alongside the blockbuster shooter, subscribers can look forward to a packed slate of new additions throughout the month. Dead Static Drive and Sniper Elite: Resistance arrive on November 5, followed by Egging On and Whiskerwood on November 6, Voidtrain on November 7, and Great God Grove and Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris on November 11. Relic Hunters Legend and Winter Burrow join the list on November 12, all leading up to the highly anticipated Black Ops 7 launch on November 14.
The inclusion of Call of Duty marks a major milestone for Xbox Game Pass. Since Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, fans have been eager to see the franchise make its debut on the subscription service, and this launch signals the start of that integration. It also arrives shortly after the Game Pass pricing and tier updates, with Black Ops 7 available on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass tiers.
Black Ops 7: Release timeline, modes, and what to expect
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 officially releases on November 14 worldwide, though console players will get access slightly earlier depending on time zones. Preloads begin November 10 at 9 am PST (10:30 pm Tuesday, Indian Standard Time (IST)), ensuring players can jump in as soon as servers go live. According to Treyarch, this year’s instalment is set in a near-future setting and brings back the signature Black Ops tone of espionage and tension.
At launch, Black Ops 7 will feature a co-op campaign mode, 16 multiplayer maps (including classic 6v6 and large-scale 20v20 battles), and the return of round-based Zombies with a fresh narrative in the heart of the Dark Aether. The early October open beta gave players a glimpse of smoother gunplay, tighter map design, and new weapon customisation systems that build on last year’s mechanics. With Battlefield 6 expected to compete for the same audience, Black Ops 7’s Game Pass debut could be a defining moment for both Xbox and Activision Blizzard heading into the holiday season.
