Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Launches with Arachnophobia Mode and Game Pass Integration

Call of Duty's upcoming Black Ops 6, launching October 25th, introduces a new arachnophobia-friendly option in its Zombies mode. This accessibility feature alters the appearance of spider-like enemies, transforming them into legless, seemingly floating creatures. While the visual change is significant, the developers haven't detailed whether this impacts the enemy's hitbox.

A new "Pause and Save" feature also arrives in Zombies, allowing solo players to pause, save their progress, and reload with full health. This is particularly beneficial in the challenging Round-Based mode, preventing the frustration of starting over after death.

Black Ops 6's Impact on Xbox Game Pass

Black Ops 6's day-one launch on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass is generating considerable buzz. Analysts offer varying predictions on its impact on subscriber numbers. While some anticipate a significant surge of 3-4 million new subscribers, others suggest a more conservative 10% increase (approximately 2.5 million), potentially including existing subscribers upgrading their subscriptions.
