Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Pre-Load is Now Live

The new Call of Duty UI is also live, and amid complaints, the official Twitter says redownloading DLC packs is "expected behavior."

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 out later this week, pre-loads are now live for all platforms. On top of this, the new Call of Duty UI (formerly Call of Duty HQ) is available for all players, providing a brand new interface to navigate everything Call of Duty-related.

While reports are circulating about Call of Duty: Warzone players being unable to access the game due to redownloading files, the official Twitter claims this is “expected behavior.” “This update will continue to reorganize game files as part of our ongoing efforts to optimize the Call of Duty experience.”

Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available on October 24th between 4 AM and 11 PM PT for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC players on the Microsoft Store (based on one’s region). However, PC players on Steam and Battle.net must wait until 9 PM PT on the same day.
