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.

3. Play Black Ops 6 Immediately!

After downloading and installing, you'll be able to play Black Ops 6's campaign, multiplayer, or zombies modes immediately when it launches on October 25!

Preload Benefits

You Get to Play the Game Right Away

Preloading Black Ops 6 will allow you to play the game as soon as it launches. Players who made digital purchases should preload ahead of time in order to play alongside players who bought physical copies of BO6.
