The excitement is building as we approach the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 in just 10 days! Activision has released key details regarding preload and launch times, ensuring players are ready to dive into the action.
Preload Details
All players can begin preloading Black Ops 6 at the same time, with the official preload time set for 9 a.m. PT on October 21. This uniform start time across all platforms allows players ample opportunity to download the game’s substantial file size prior to launch.
- Storage Requirements: Players will need at least 137 GB of storage space to accommodate the initial download. However, accounting for Day 1 patches, additional updates, and texture packs, it’s advisable to have 150 GB to 200 GB of space available.
To initiate the preload, simply launch your console or PC and navigate to the Black Ops 6 application. For those who haven’t yet purchased the game, acquiring it after the preload time starts will automatically trigger the download.
