Black Ops 6 Free to Play for a Week as Activision Spooked by Battlefield 6
The free trial includes campaign, multiplayer, and zombies modes with Halloween content and is accessible on Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam for one week starting October 9.
- On October 9, Activision announced a free trial for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 running until October 16.
- Amid the Activision–EA rivalry, the move aligns with Activision’s pattern of timing free trials around new season launches to boost purchases and Xbox Game Pass Essential and Premium sign-ups.
- During the free week, players can access campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies modes, plus The Haunting event content and cosmetics that transfer to Warzone but not Black Ops 7.
- The giveaway intensifies marketing skirmishes as both Black Ops 6 and Battlefield 6 are crucial releases for their publishers, raising stakes for player response.
- Black Ops 7 launches November 14 and Operators and Operator Skins from Black Ops 6 will not carry forward, leaving Black Ops 6 at the tail end of its lifespan.
