Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for Xbox delivers a spy-thriller experience like no other—a cinematic single-player campaign, a next-level multiplayer arena, and the epic return of Round-Based Zombies. Pre-order now to gain immediate access to the Open Beta and start your Black Ops journey ahead of the crowd.
Set in the early 1990s, a pivotal era of shifting power and global tension, Black Ops 6 stacks high-stakes action against a mind-bending narrative. The campaign drops you into dynamic moments across varied environments, with blockbuster set pieces, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger operations that demand quick thinking and sharp instincts. This is signature Black Ops storytelling—intense, immersive, and never predictable.
What to expect in multiplayer—and why it feels different this time. At launch you’ll confront 16 maps designed for strategic, high-skill play: 12 core 6v6 maps that reward teamwork, map control, and precise execution; plus 4 Strike maps that flex between tight 2v2 skirmishes and expansive 6v6 battles. Each arena emphasizes fluid gunplay, smart positioning, and evolving tactics as players adapt on the fly to changing objectives and enemy layouts.
Round-Based Zombies returns with two brand-new maps launching alongside the multiplayer slate. Team up with friends to survive increasingly brutal waves, unlock new abilities, and push your endurance to the limit as you hunt for milestones and high-score glory in a cooperative, pulse-pounding horror experience.
Post-launch, Black Ops 6 continues to expand with additional maps and groundbreaking experiences across both multiplayer and Zombies, keeping the action fresh and the competition intense long after the initial release.
Why players choose Black Ops 6—and who it’s for—
- Fans craving a spy-action thriller with cinematic storytelling, tight gunplay, and clutch moments that shape the mission.
- Aspiring tacticians who value map diversity, team coordination, and adaptable strategy in multiplayer.
- Cooperative shooters who love surviving together in escalating Zombies challenges with friends.
- Players who want a living, evolving experience that rewards practice, experimentation, and mastery across both campaign and post-launch content.
Developer insight—Black Ops 6 is brought to life by Treyarch and Raven, blending a mind-bending narrative with the robust Black Ops formula that players know and love: cinematic missions, dynamic combat, and unforgettable moments that stand out in the saga.
Practical tips to get the edge: dive into the 12 core 6v6 maps first to learn sightlines and spawn patterns, then rotate into the 4 Strike maps to sharpen quick-strike decision making in smaller teams. In Zombies, coordinate co-op tactics, manage resources, and communicate constantly to survive the round breaks that introduce new threats. And keep an eye on post-launch drops—the game evolves, so staying active with updates is key to staying ahead.
