Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has received a flurry of minor updates coinciding with the game’s release, addressing several in-game glitches, technical issues, and stability faults. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s open beta began at the beginning of September, and it gained a mixed bag of reviews. Some praised the shooter’s well-polished mechanics and omnidirectional movement, while others criticized the game’s sound design and loadout system.
Serving as the 21st Call of Duty game and the seventh entry in the Black Ops series, 2024’s first-person, multiplayer shooter follows rogue operatives Troy Marshall and Frank Woods while their team tracks down Pantheon. Regarding an innovative step forward in the franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has improved several accessibility features from its predecessors, and the current title even features a never-before-seen arachnophobia mode. Furthermore, loyalists will happily return to the game’s Zombies mode and are keen to explore the title’s sixteen, brand-new maps.
Posted on Twitter by the official Call of Duty Updates account, a few minor fixes were confirmed to be deployed for all platforms on launch day, and a handful of updates were outlined. One issue that stopped several players from setting Zombie Builds was corrected, and another glitch that left players without a prompt to install the Modern Warfare 3 MP Package was also fixed. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s 33 launch weapons will be tried and tested within the game’s first week, and players will be glad to know the update also fixed a bug that removed camos from Weapon Builds.

Another fix remedied an issue where several stats in the Global leaderboards would sit at 0 values, and an extra tidbit confirmed a fix for Friend leaderboards was in the pipeline. Esports star and pro Call of Duty player Clayster recently announced his retirement after a 16-year career, leaving big shoes to fill on the Global leaderboards. Finally, a second minor update targeted stability problems, including issues when collecting Dog Tags in Kill Confirmed and using Emotes and High Contrast Mode.
To celebrate the new shooter’s debut, GameStop hosted a midnight release for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and gamers were glad to see the return of a beloved tradition. Fans could pick up the game in person, which is an exciting pastime to share with the community. After Activision’s stellar, propaganda-styled marketing campaign for the entry, gamers can now indulge in all that Black Ops 6 has to offer.

WHERE TO PLAY
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
