Call of Duty and the Pricey Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Crossover: Players React
The unveiling of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has stunned players with its steep price tag, eliciting widespread reactions online.
The latest crossover in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 introduces the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) at an eye-watering cost. Players are shocked to find that to acquire all four turtles, they’ll need to shell out around $90.
This TMNT content, part of the Season 02 Reloaded update, offers each turtle in separate premium bundles. Traditionally priced bundles come to 2,400 COD points each, roughly $19.99 or £16.70, making the total for the turtles around $80, with an additional $10 for the event pass that includes various cosmetics.

Fans have expressed their discontent on forums, highlighting views on the absurd pricing:
- A Pensive Monkey commented, “The Turtles don’t use guns; their fingers wouldn’t even… I hate this…”
- Soupy-E quipped, “Cash cow-abunga!”
Comparisons are also being drawn to Fortnite, where a TMNT bundle costs $34 for all four turtles, leading many to question the value in Call of Duty’s pricing strategy.
Despite the backlash, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 continues to be a commercial success, boasting the highest sales in the franchise’s history. This has raised concerns about the overall direction of Call of Duty and its recent reliance on cross-promotional content.
