Microsoft se plantea retirar Call of Duty del lanzamiento de día uno en Game Pass

Microsoft está considerando retirar los títulos de Call of Duty de la disponibilidad de día uno en Xbox Game Pass. El periodista de Windows Central, Jez Corden, afirmó que los ejecutivos de Xbox ven fisuras en la estrategia actual debido al impacto de esta exitosa franquicia en los ingresos por suscripción. El posible cambio se produce en medio de las recientes subidas de precio del servicio.

Jez Corden, de Windows Central, reveló en un vídeo reciente que Xbox está contemplando retirar Call of Duty de Game Pass este año. Atribuyó esta consideración a presiones financieras, señalando que la franquicia altera tanto la sostenibilidad de Game Pass como su propio modelo de ventas. Corden explicó que incluir un título de tal envergadura resta ingresos significativos destinados a la adquisición de contenido, mientras que ofrecer a los jugadores una alternativa más barata frente a la compra directa perjudica las ventas del juego. Corden declaró: 'Game Pass ha alterado el modelo de negocio de Call of Duty de una manera bastante negativa'. Corden especuló sobre posibles soluciones, como la introducción de niveles premium para grandes lanzamientos, aunque enfatizó la incertidumbre. 'Si sacan Call of Duty de Game Pass este año, lo cual es una posibilidad según lo que he oído, creo que dejará al descubierto algunas de las fisuras en la estrategia', añadió. Microsoft subió recientemente los precios de Game Pass, y Corden lo vinculó en parte al dominio de Call of Duty. Observó que los ingresos totales disminuyeron debido a la caída en las ventas de Call of Duty, dado que el juego sigue sin ser exclusivo.
