CoD players will get Black Ops 6 on launch day as Activision ditches early access trend

As gaming continues to undergo rapid corporatization, some practices that haven’t sat well with players over the past few years have emerged. One is the early access for pre-orders, which grants players a few days’ head start in games. However, Black Ops 6 miraculously won’t have it.

This was first reported by Charlie Intel on X (formerly Twitter) today, Sept. 10, providing an Activision representative’s statement in full. The representative apparently said the developers are “fully focused on Oct. 25,” adding that “this year, [they] have made the decision to ensure the community gets to dig into any and all modes that they want at the same time.” This means Call of Duty‘s next iteration will have no early access for pre-orders, unlike some of its predecessors, and will very much differ from most of the AAA market these past few years.
