Speaking with IGN's sister site, [URL='https://www.gamesindustry.biz/take-two-expects-call-of-duty-will-boost-game-pass-numbers-for-a-period-of-time']GamesIndustry.biz[/URL], Zelnick told the publication that he believes including Call of Duty on Game Pass will push consumers to subscribe to the service, at least for some time.
