The road to Black Ops 6 launch: Preload and new user interface

news.blizzard.com:

The October 25 launch date for Call of Duty®: Black Ops 6 is just around the corner, meaning it’s almost time to start preloading the game so you can jump right in when it releases next week.

To prepare for launch, we’re delivering an update that combines the preload of Black Ops 6 and the rollout of the new Call of Duty user interface into a single download. This is one of the last steps in the Roadmap to Black Ops 6 Launch we discussed in August, with more coming in Season 01. Once the download is completed, players can check out the new UI immediately and be ready to play Black Ops 6 as soon as it is released. Here’s what you can expect in the pre-launch update arriving on Monday.

CONTENT SUMMARY

Preloading for Black Ops 6 begins this Monday, October 21 at 9AM PT. Players who have pre-purchased the game or subscribe to select Game Pass plans can download Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies so they’re ready to go when Black Ops 6 officially releases on October 25.

To make the preload as smooth as possible, players who pre-purchased Black Ops 6 and already have Call of Duty installed will receive the Black Ops 6 preload as an automatic update to their existing install, similar to previous Call of Duty updates.

Players who pre-purchased Black Ops 6, but don’t already have Call of Duty installed can initiate the preload from their platform storefront.

The download will be larger for players who already have Call of Duty installed as they’re getting the new UI and Black Ops 6 at the same time.

Call of Duty: Warzone — A Separate Download

Call of Duty: Warzone™ content is not automatically included in the default download for Black Ops 6.

However, players who don’t already have Call of Duty: Warzone installed can still choose to download it alongside Black Ops 6 by selecting it in your platform’s install manager. Players can also download Call of Duty: Warzone at any point after their initial Black Ops 6 install from within the new Call of Duty user interface. We encourage
