Overview
- PlayStation, Xbox, and Xbox on PC versions go live at 12:00 am in each local time zone on November 14.
- PC launch timing on Steam and Battle.net is staggered: 9 pm PST Nov. 13 (US West), 12 am EST Nov. 14 (US East), 5 am GMT (UK), 6 am CET (Europe), and 4 pm AEDT (Australia).
- Many players are using the New Zealand region-switch on consoles to start early, a longstanding workaround that does not work on Steam or Battle.net.
- Preloads are live across platforms, the install exceeds 100GB, and the CoD HQ app supports selective downloads to manage file size.
- Black Ops 7 is included with Xbox Game Pass at launch.
