Discover what time you can start playing Season 1 in Warzone and Black Ops 6, as well as how much storage space you’ll need for the update that is about to arrive (specifically on November 14).
Black Ops 6 has had a very strong launch. During the launch week, the game achieved more simultaneous players on Steam than any other installment of the franchise since 2022.
It is also the first Call of Duty game to arrive on GamePass, which has opened new avenues for Xbox and PC subscribers to play without having to pay for the game. Despite this, Black Ops 6 has managed to sell a lot on PlayStation.
And Season 1 of Black Ops 6, arriving this week, aims to give even more to the players. Here is everything you need to know about the arrival of Season 1 for Warzone and Black Ops 6, including the release date and time, and what new content you can expect to see when the update arrives.
What is the release date and time for Season 1 of Warzone for Black Ops 6?
The new season will release new content for both the Warzone battle royale and Black Ops 6 simultaneously when it is published on Thursday, November 14. In Europe, it will be released from 6 PM and in the US, it will arrive early in the morning, as the launch is simultaneous.
Of course, you will have to download a fairly substantial update if you want to jump into the new maps with your new weapons in hand. While PC players will be able to download the update in advance, console players will only have access to the patch a few hours before its release.
A wired connection is a safe bet for running and shooting when Season 1 arrives, but even if you have a solid broadband connection, you’re probably wondering how much system space this new update will consume.
How much space does the Season 1 update file for Warzone for Black Ops 6 take up?
The Season 1 update file is quite substantial, as it adds nearly 50 GB in total between both Call of Duty experiences. More specifically, Black Ops 6 players will need to download a 35 GB update, while Warzone players will face an additional 10 GB update.
Season 1 increases the total file size of Call of Duty Black Ops 6 to 90 GB, an amount that is average for games currently.
What is coming to Black Ops 6 in Season 1?
Although the integration of Black Ops 6 into Warzone is the main part of the Season 1 launch, the main title is not being neglected. New maps, modes, weapons, and much more will make their debut during the upcoming season.
The new season will launch with three new multiplayer maps: Hideout, Heirloom, and Extraction; another map, Racket, will be added mid-season. A holiday version of Nuketown and Hacienda from Black Ops 4 will also return at some point during the season.
New multiplayer game modes will also be added. In a new 6v6 mode called Ransack, players will fight to collect gold bars throughout the map and bring them back to a stash in the spawn area. To win, players will need to store new gold bars, defend their own stash, and raid the enemy’s spawn point to reclaim their loot.
The fans’ favorite hide-and-seek mode, Prop Hunt, also returns mid-season, and other limited-time modes are promised in the future.
Ranked matches will also be available in the launch window, allowing players to compete to earn SR in competitive matches in game modes like Control, Hardpoint, and Search and Destroy. Playing in ranked modes will allow players to earn exclusive operator skins for their Rogue Black Ops and Crimson One teams based on the amount of SR they accumulate throughout the season.
The new additions to the equipment will also increase the arsenal with which players can work. Seven new weapons will be added throughout the battle pass and seasonal events: the Krig C assault rifle, the Saug SMG, the Maelstrom shotgun, the AMR Mod 4 sniper rifle, the Sirin 9 mm special weapon, and the melee weapons blade and electric drill will be available at the end of the season.
