Despite the positive changes, Call of Duty players also received bad news regarding Black Ops 6.

Although it’s not technically the first game to be released after Activision Blizzard’s acquisition, the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 appears to be the first game in the series that Microsoft may have had a hand in developing. This is also proven by the fact that the game was presented at a summer Xbox event. In fact, the creators even answered the questions. The second Gulf War location has been officially confirmed, as has the release date, which comes as a bit of a surprise to fans of the franchise.

The good news is that the title will hit stores a little earlier than expected, with a planned release date of October 25, 2024.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has a release date

In addition to the release date, it was confirmed during the Xbox Games Showcase that there will be full cross-platform parity. “Every Call of Duty player gets the same game simultaneously. From now on, everyone will experience the same thing, including the beta, seasonal expansions and updates,” said Phil Spencer at the title’s launch. In that sense, Xbox’s decision was to terminate the distribution privileges enjoyed by PlayStation.

Users of Microsoft’s consoles will not have any benefits, and all content will arrive on all consoles simultaneously.

However, not all the news regarding Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been positive. With the start of the pre-order campaign, we learned that the game will cost 80 euros on all platforms! In this sense, the price will be slightly higher than what we are used to. PC users, who are generally immune to this kind of practice, will also be affected by the increase. On that note, it’s also worth noting that this will also be the first CoD game to be available on Game Pass from day one. In this sense, we will have the opportunity to save money in exchange for entering the well-known “Xbox ecosystem”.

As for the details revealed about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 during the Xbox Games Showcase, we received very positive news. For example, we know that features like the old prestige system and theatre mode will return. On the other hand, there were also headlines on the negative side, such as the size of the game (310 GB) or the need always to be online to play any game mode (including the campaign).
