That's big. Means more day one Gamepass titles from these studios. You'd probably be laughed at if you proposed COD to be exclusive this gen but here we are 
I'm seeing Twitter explode with this. This is a joke right? There's obviously some sort of mid-January prank day I'm not aware of?
Should I say that this is really a bad thing now or should I wait until Microsoft buys Playstation?
I probably won’t ever play COD again, but….That's big. Means more day one Gamepass titles from these studios. You'd probably be laughed at if you proposed COD to be exclusive this gen but here we are

I haven't bought a COD since World at War but still pretty big I suppose for COD fans only on Playstation. Now they will need a PC or Xbox.
Now was probably a good time to buy as any.
Would they actually make a multiplatform goliath like CoD exclusive? I mean. Words can’t adequately express how absurd this is.
Glad I play on both platforms at this point, lol.

I can't imagine them making COD exclusive. That would really get them a ton of backlash and cost them a ton of money.
Just putting all those games on Game Pass would be massive without going that route.
This may signal that Microsoft, is, indeed, exiting the console hardware market. They own everything. Now, they can just sit back and sell subscriptions to games, their online systems, and not have to bother with hardware. Next Xbox will be the last.
Day one Gamepass and exclusive content definitely sounds possible.
Microsoft just throwing money at everyone to get more content for Gamepass, their dream of being the Netflix of gaming might actually pan out this way.
I’m actually equally excited to see if they clean house at Blizzard and restore them to what they used to be. Was my favorite gaming company for two decades.
