UPDATE 12/24: It now looks as though the next Black Ops 6 and Warzone double XP event is actually taking place on Wednesday, December 25.

Original story follows.

Treyarch has revealed that Double XP is returning to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone on December 24. This will give players the opportunity to grind out the levels in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 over the holiday season with a much faster XP rate than usual.

Gamers who have been playing plenty of Black Ops 6 since launch may have noticed that Treyarch has been extremely liberal with its Double XP events. The grind to Prestige Master isn't easy, but Treyarch has continued to provide players with lots of opportunities to make the journey much easier. There has been a fair bit of controversy surrounding Black Ops 6's Double XP events so far, though. Many gamers have complained that they only earn under 1.5x XP above the usual, as opposed to the advertised 2x XP. Whether this issue will be resolved with the upcoming event remains to be seen.

Interestingly, Treyarch has yet to officially announce the upcoming Black Ops 6 and Warzone Double XP event. However, a quick look at the in-game event menu reveals that Double XP is coming on December 24. This means that any gamer waking up to a copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on Christmas Day can hop in and immediately enjoy Double XP rates, which will help catch up with the players who have already reached Prestige Master. No details beyond the start date have been revealed, although previous Double XP events have also featured Double Weapon XP, Double Battle Pass XP, and Double GobbleGum Earn Rate, so that's a possibility here, too.

The most recent Black Ops 6 Double XP event began on December 13. It hasn't been long at all since players last had Double XP, but there's no doubt that it increases engagement with the game. Some players do feel that they're becoming too frequent. While it's been a long time since the days when there would be maybe a couple of Double XP weekends in an entire game cycle, there's still a balance to be struck to make them feel special.

Players hopping into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 over the holiday period have plenty to enjoy. Not only will there be Double XP from Christmas Eve, but Black Ops 6's Archie's Festival Frenzy event is also ongoing. The fan-favorite Stakeout 24/7 playlist also returned recently, which is the best way to grind camos in the game.

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.
