The highly anticipated release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is just around the corner, and there is a lot of buzz surrounding this game. As fans eagerly await its arrival, here's everything you need to know about the release time in the UK, Game Pass access, and download size.
The Black Ops 6 beta back in September was a huge success, introducing new maps, game modes, and the revolutionary omnimovement system. This feature allows players to run and dive in any direction, adding a whole new level of intensity to the game. It was a refreshing change from its predecessor, Modern Warfare 3, which left fans disappointed. This will also be the first Call of Duty game released since Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard.
With the release of Black Ops 6 just a few days away, it's time to get ready. Let's take a look at where you can play it, what time it will be available in the UK, and a neat trick to play it early.
Black Ops 6 will officially launch on Friday, October 25 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. For those playing on PC, the game will be available on Steam and Battle.net at 5am BST on October 25. However, for Xbox, Game Pass, and PlayStation players, the release time will vary slightly, with a planned rollout between 12pm on October 24 and 7am on October 25 in Europe.
For those eager to dive right into the action, here's a little tip. Due to time zones, the game will be available at different times in different countries, which means you can get early access if you can convince your device that you're in New Zealand. This country gets the game 12 hours earlier than the UK, so with this trick, you can start playing Black Ops 6 right away. This technique works with any game, and you can find the steps on how to do it online.
Now, let's answer the burning question on many gamers' minds - will Black Ops 6 be available on Game Pass? The answer is yes! The game will be free on day one for those with a Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass subscription. However, it won't be available on Game Pass Standard. It's also expected that future Call of Duty titles will also come to Game Pass, as Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer stated earlier this year that their intent is to have the full portfolio of games from ZeniMax, Activision Blizzard, and Xbox Game Studios on Game Pass, day one.
Additionally, Black Ops 6 will be available on Xbox cloud gaming on day one for Game Pass Ultimate members. This is the only membership option that gives access to console and PC titles, as well as cloud gaming.
There are two pre-order options for Black Ops 6 - the Standard Edition and the Vault Edition, priced at £69.99 and £99.99 respectively. The Vault Edition comes with the base game and other perks, including the Hunters vs. Hunted Operator Pack, Mastercraft Collection with five weapons, BlackCell with a Battle Pass, 20 Tier Skips, and 1,100 CP, and 12 high rarity GobbleGum for Zombies.
With all the hype surrounding this game, fans are wondering if Black Ops 6 will be a return to form for the Call of Duty franchise. We'll just have to wait and see!
For those who have pre-ordered the game, pre-loading is available, and it's recommended if you want to start playing immediately. According to the PC specifications on Steam, Black Ops 6 will require 128GB of space on an SSD hard drive. The space requirement for consoles is not entirely clear, but according to a Reddit user who has already pre-loaded the game on Xbox, players can choose which parts of the game they want to download. They mentioned that the multiplayer and Call of Duty Headquarters will require 66GB, while the campaign and Warzone will be an additional 50GB each. Keep in mind that these numbers may change, as Activision might add new patches before launch.
