Overview

• On November 14, multiplayer will default to Open Matchmaking with minimal skill consideration rather than strict SBMM.
• Persistent lobbies will be enabled at launch to keep teammates and opponents together across consecutive matches.
• Aim assist, including rotational behavior, will be tuned before release to improve balance between controller and mouse users.
• Ricochet Anti-Cheat reported 97.5% cheater‑free matches on beta day one rising to 98.8% by day five, with full detections planned for launch.
• The announcement coincided with the beta’s end on October 9, with Treyarch calling the changes player‑feedback driven; SBMM remains but is significantly reduced.
