| How to Gain Preload Access | |
|---|---|
| Pre-Order BO6 | Game Pass |
To preload the game, you will need to pre-order BO6 through your platform's storefront before its release date on October 25, 2024. Alternatively, you can subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate, PC, or Core to gain access to Black Ops 6 and its preload before launch.
You Can Pre-Install Call of Duty HQ Already
After purchasing Black Ops 6, you can preload its application Call of Duty HQ already. Call of Duty HQ is the app that contains and supports previous Call of Duty titles. Its recommended to pre-install this in advance, even before the preload date, since it has quite the hefty file size.
2. Preload 81 Hours Before Launch
When preload becomes available 81 hours before October 24, a Download or Install button should appear when you select the application on your platform's home screen or storefront. Have your platform start the preload to gain access to BO6 on launch.
