Xbox's Phil Spencer Announces Day-One Release Of All Activision Games On Xbox Game Pass: Is Call Of Duty Included?
Xbox boss Phil Spencer has revealed that Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) plans to release all games from Activision Blizzard, ZeniMax (which includes Bethesda, MachineGames, and iD Software), and Xbox Game Studios on Game Pass on launch day.
Xbox老板菲尔·斯宾塞透露，微软公司（纳斯达克股票代码：MSFT）计划在发布当天在Game Pass上发布动视暴雪、ZeniMax（包括贝塞斯达、MachineGames和iD Software）和Xbox Game Studios的所有游戏。
"Our intent is the full portfolio of games from ZeniMax, Activision Blizzard and XGS — Xbox Game Studios — will be on Game Pass, day one," Spencer said in an interview with Game File.
斯宾塞在接受《游戏档案》采访时说：“我们的意图是，ZeniMax、动视暴雪和XGS——Xbox游戏工作室——的全部游戏组合将在第一天上线Game Pass。”
Spencer's statement suggests a significant shift in strategy, particularly for titles like Call of Duty, which has historically resisted such subscription models.
斯宾塞的声明表明战略发生了重大转变，特别是对于《使命召唤》这样的游戏，该游戏历来一直抵制这种订阅模式。
While some games like Diablo 4 have been confirmed for Game Pass, the prospect of launching new Call of Duty titles directly onto the platform raises questions about the traditional sales model and potential impact on subscriber numbers.
尽管一些游戏（例如暗黑破坏神4）已被确认使用Game Pass，但直接在该平台上推出新的《使命召唤》游戏的前景引发了人们对传统销售模式以及对订阅人数的潜在影响的质疑。
Spencer's approach contrasts with previous resistance from former Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, who opposed the idea of multi-game subscription services. Spencer responded to this by telling IGN, "Well, there's a different person making the decisions."
斯宾塞的做法与动视暴雪前首席执行官鲍比·科蒂克先前的抵制形成鲜明对比，后者反对多游戏订阅服务的想法。斯宾塞对此做出了回应，告诉IGN：“好吧，有另一个人做决定。”
Despite Spencer's intentions, concerns remain among AAA publishers like Sony and Take-Two regarding the impact of subscription services on game sales. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has expressed skepticism about releasing big titles on subscription platforms, suggesting it may be a lost opportunity for publishers.
尽管斯宾塞有这样的打算，但索尼和Take-Two等AA发行商仍然担心订阅服务对游戏销售的影响。Take-Two首席执行官施特劳斯·泽尔尼克对在订阅平台上发行大型游戏表示怀疑，这表明这对出版商来说可能是一个失去的机会。
The next Call of Duty installment, rumored to be part of the Black Ops series set in the Gulf War and developed by Treyarch, is expected to launch in October or November. Spencer has stated that efforts are underway to bring existing Activision Blizzard games to Game Pass simultaneously on PC and console.
下一部《使命召唤》预计将于10月或11月推出，据传是海湾战争背景的《黑色行动》系列的一部分，由Treyarch开发。斯宾塞表示，正在努力在PC和主机上同时将现有的动视暴雪游戏引入Game Pass。
