Overview
- The game rolls out November 14 with midnight local launches on consoles and region-based PC unlocks, with preloads available and day-one access on Xbox Game Pass.
- Most public playlists use 'open' matchmaking with minimal skill weighting, a rotating Moshpit applies SBMM, and Ranked will use SBMM when it arrives in Season 2, alongside persistent lobbies.
- A launch-week patch changes rotational aim assist by requiring right-stick input for full strength, tightening activation ranges, and boosting long‑range assistance, with the adjustments also applied to Warzone.
- Completing the campaign unlocks Endgame, a co-op PvE mode for up to 32 players featuring escalating difficulty zones, replayable objectives, and the ability to host friends who have not finished the story.
- Multiplayer debuts the 20v20 Skirmish mode and Overload, which replaces Control in competitive play, as early reviews praise the refined movement, map design, and broader mode variety.
