Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Launches With Mixed Lobbies and a Tactical Overhaul

The release introduces a slower, wall‑jump‑driven movement model with perk‑based tradeoffs for sprinting and aiming.

Overview

  • The game is on sale now at Media Markt for PS5, PS4 and Xbox, with the PS4 disc including a digital PS5 upgrade that requires a PS5 with a disc drive.
  • Chip reports the title is also available on PC and arrives day one in Xbox Game Pass, alongside standard and Vault editions across platforms.
  • By default, multiplayer uses mixed, persistent lobbies with optional SBMM, and preview reporting says server routing now prioritizes ping, connecting German players to Frankfurt instead of London.
  • Core movement has been dialed back for a more tactical pace, with no tactical sprint, no firing while sprinting and no aiming while sliding unless restored via limited Perk slots.
  • New scorestreaks headline the toolbox, including the DAWG combat robot delivered by dropship and armed with rockets and a minigun, while Ranked Play and Zombies return with updated progression.
