Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 introduces a new arachnophobia mode and accessibility features, alongside its Game Pass debut. The highly anticipated October 25th release includes a toggleable setting in Zombies mode that alters the appearance of spider-like enemies. This adjustment transforms the arachnids into legless, seemingly floating creatures, addressing player concerns without altering core gameplay mechanics. While the impact on hitboxes remains unclear, the visual change significantly reduces the unsettling effect of these enemies.

The update also brings a "Pause and Save" feature to solo matches in Round-Based Zombies, allowing players to save their progress while maintaining full health. This addition is particularly beneficial, given the challenging nature of Round-Based maps and the potential for significant setbacks upon death.

Black Ops 6's Game Pass inclusion has sparked debate among analysts regarding its impact on subscriber numbers. While some predict a substantial increase of 3-4 million new subscribers, others suggest a more modest 10% rise, approximately 2.5 million, potentially driven by existing subscribers upgrading their plans. The success of this strategy is crucial for Microsoft, as the performance of Black Ops 6 on Game Pass will significantly influence the future of Xbox's gaming subscription model. The integration of this popular title is seen as a high-stakes move for Microsoft, aiming to revitalize its gaming division's growth.
