Xbox Series X/S. Owner has been left confused after a user pointed out that the console's dashboard is advertising Call of duty mobileA game that is (clearly) only available on mobile devices and not Xbox. The introduction of ads on the Xbox Series X/S instrument panel has often caused controversy among players, but some believe that Microsoft takes things a step too far by advertising titles that are not even available on that platform.
This is not the first time that the Xbox owner has been left frustrated by some of the company's advertising tactics. It is also not the first time the fans have noticed ads for something that is not related to the Xbox series X/S. In 2024, Microsoft collaborated with McDonald's to advertise the fast food chain on Xbox's dashboard. As expected, fans were furious when they were greeted with the ad after starting their consoles. While most users seemed to be willing to tolerate ads and even full-screen banners for new video games, they pulled the line on non-related gaming ads.

Although it really is not as controversial as a McDonald's ad, the latest Xbox series X/S AD is to spark controversy for Call of Duty: Mobiles new Gundam Collaboration for its Big Season 6 update. As it is quite obvious with the name of the game, Call of duty mobile Is only available on iOS or Android devices and not the Xbox Series X/S, which has left some users quite confused by its placement on the console. Reddit User Critical_TERM_1013 said to put an ad for a game that is not on Xbox is “beyond their understanding.” Although not everyone is so worried, colleague Reddit users said Xboxmatt123 that Xbox's ads are “terrible.”
Xbox fans are not satisfied with Call of Duty Mobile Ads
Although it may seem strange because there is an Xbox Series X/S instrument panel ad that is not actually on the console, there is a rather understandable reason. Back in October 2023 Microsoft completed its acquisition of Activision-flash, the publisher of some fairly large titles such as Customs callsThe OverclockThe DiabloThe Tony Hawk's Pro SkaterThe Crash bandicootAnd many more. When Activision is now under the Microsoft Paralyt, it is perfect for the company to advertise Call of duty mobile In an attempt to drive more players to the title. It can be quite annoying to those who are not interested in mobile games, but Microsoft simply announces a product it owns.
In the past, some users have claimed to have an Xbox Game Pass subscription should make users exempt from seeing ads on Series X/S instrument panel. This is not something Microsoft has ever commented on, but it would be a great way to get more players to subscribe to the service.
Although it is due to the level that subscribers choose, there are already some good reasons to subscribe to Game Pass. New games are added to the service every month, with lots of day a edition that gives players the chance to try any new AAA editions without having to fork out $ 70 or $ 80. It also gives subscribers access to exclusive offers and discounts, cloud saving and more.
