Call of Duty may begin locking limited-time modes behind Battle Pass

Call of Duty 2025 will be announced within the next few months and we're starting to hear more rumblings about the changes this year's game will bring. One of the big changes may be coming to monetisation, as one prominent leaker claims that Activision plans to make limited time modes exclusive to the Battle Pass. 

Currently, Call of Duty has many limited time modes that appear for a few weeks or months at a time, before being retired. These modes, like last year's limited-time Squid Games event, often garner a lot of traction and have become a core part of the annual COD experience.

According to COD leaker, GhostofHope, in COD 2025, limited time modes will no longer be free for all players and will instead be locked behind the Battle Pass.

This is not great news considering that this year will also likely see Call of Duty rising to $80 for the standard edition at launch. Microsoft announced last week that it intends to begin pricing some of its first-party games at $80, with premium editions rising to $100 or more.

KitGuru Says: For me, this might be the last straw for COD. I tend to only play the game for a couple of weeks at a time and it is often the limited time mode pushing me to reinstall. If all of that gets locked behind a battle pass, my few weeks a year of playtime is going to turn into zero weeks a year.
