When does Black Ops 6 Season 1 update come out?
The Season 1 update for BO6 arrives on November 14, 2024, at around 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET / 6 PM GMT. Treyarch have officially confirmed this date and the time is based off previous Call of Duty season launches.
The update will introduce a bunch of new content for Multiplayer and Warzone, as well as a variety of changes such as balancing for weapons, bug fixes, and more.
Black Ops 6 Season 1 new maps
The devs have confirmed three new maps so far for BO6 Season 1: Hideout, Extraction, and Heirloom.
Hideout and Extraction are both 6v6 maps, while Heirloom is more of a Face Off map built for 6v6 and 2v2 Gunfight. Treyarch stated that these a just a few of the map arriving in Season 1, so we expect more to be announced soon.
New game modes
Black Ops 6 Season 1 will bring some new game modes to Multiplayer, but the devs are yet to reveal what those are. Perhaps we’ll see a Party game mode like Gun Game or One in the Chamber join the list alongside Infected, which was introduced shortly after launch.
Ranked Play arrives
Treyarch have confirmed that Ranked Play will arrive in Black Ops 6 Season 1, allowing players to get their competitive hats on and test themselves against similarly skilled players. Check out our guide on Black Ops 6 Ranked Play for a full breakdown on how the mode will work.
Are there any new guns in Black Ops 6 Season 1?
New guns have not been announced for Black Ops 6 Season 1, and as the game launched with a healthy arsenal, there’s a chance that the devs have decided not to introduce a new weapon.
Perhaps the devs don’t want to disrupt the current gun balancing and since Warzone is about to get a whole new roster of weapons with the BO6 integration, maybe that’s in the back of their minds too.
Black Ops 6 Season 1 Battle Pass
The update also introduces Black Ops 6’s first Battle Pass, which will likely follow a similar format to MW3’s. The Battle Pass will offer players a bunch of rewards, from cosmetics like Operator skins, Emblems, and Calling Cards to Weapon Blueprints and Double XP Tokens.

Will there be new Zombies content in Black Ops 6 Season 1?
It doesn’t seem like there will be any new Zombies content in the BO6 Season 1 update, but we do expect to see the Guided Easter egg mode arrive soon, as the devs claimed it would arrive “in-season.”
