At the start of the week, Xbox developer Treyarch began teasing the first seasonal content update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and now the team has fully detailed Black Ops 6 Season 01 - it's an absolutely massive update all-in-all.
The headline news is this: Black Ops 6 Season 01 is bringing six multiplayer maps, one new Zombies map, multiple new weapons and operators, new game modes and more to the Xbox Game Pass title - and that's not to mention what's coming to Warzone this month as well.
Here's the game's Season 01 roadmap, which is that packed it's hard to take everything in:
As we mentioned Warzone there, we'll quickly touch on that as well. Just like in previous years, the free-to-play battle royale will integrate with Black Ops 6 as the game's first season arrives, and this year is no different. Warzone will become Black Ops flavoured next week too, with a brand-new map — known as Area 99 — that's "inspired by the relentless and rapid gameplay of the Multiplayer Map Nuketown".
All of your Black Ops 6 weaponry will also move over to Warzone with Season 01, alongside the game's brand-new 'omnimovement' mechanics and a whole lot more. The latest Call of Duty blog post goes into full detail about Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 01 - that's well worth a read if you'd like to know about all the nitty gritty details of this huge update.
As for when you can go hands-on with all of this, including on Xbox Game Pass? Black Ops 6 Season 01 begins on November 14th, with select content arriving during the game's mid-season update later down the line.

Having an absolute blast with this game, so really excited about the new content. I haven't downloaded Warzone, but I might give it ago now, the Area 99 looks funtime.
@RetroMan71 Glad you're enjoying it! I'm taking a break post-review but I'll be back in for Season 1 😎
Really enjoying the MP ever since I turned cross play off!
MP with the mic completely muted is the way to go. It just allows you to play and have fun at your own pace.
@ZeD Why did you turn it off?
I'm still loving BO6 - spending my 'limited' playtime between MP, Zombies and Campaign... Its a lot of fun so far...
As I pre-ordered the Vault Edition, I've already purchased the first Battle Pass (Blackcell Edition) and looking forward to Season 1...
Maybe just me but the maps seems to be the worst in terms of 'flow,' ive seen ina while. And spawns can use some work. I have repeatedly been shot in the back seconds after respawn
@FatGuyInLilCoat Yeah I've experienced that a lot but I'm having fun still working my way up through the levels, currently level 35 at the min!
@PartyMarty yeah same. Level 42 here and going strong
How is this update Game Pass exclusive? Title should say "Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Is Getting A Massive Update Next Week" not "Game Pass..." or even "Call of Duty Black Ops 6 on Xbox is getting..." like on some other articles.
@Staxo Yeah I keep wondering the same thing 😂
Xbox has been killing it, I've been enjoying the hell out of my Xbox lately. With Diablo 4 vessels of hatred DLC being so much fun, plus I got Starfield Shattered Space DLC which has been a pleasant surprise for me (people love to hate Starfield but I think it's good fun), then I've Black Ops 6 launching into gamepass ultimate day one! BO6 has been great, especially the Zombies. I love round based Zombies (although I REALLY hope they bring back Outbreak, that was the best open world Zombies ever) especially when it comes to solving Easter eggs. It's super fun. I have been enjoying Black Ops 6 on both my Series X and Series S. I've been at my in-laws for the last 10 days, I always take my Series S with me, and to my surprise Black Ops 6 runs incredibly well on the Series S. I beat my highest round of Zombies getting to level 71 on liberty falls and being able to exfil with no problem. I also beat the Terminus Easter egg on the Series S as well. The game is exceptionally smooth at 120fps and the only hiccups I ever get has to do with the fact I'm on WiFi instead of a dedicated LAN. My Series S is hooked up to a 32inch 1440p LG monitor that has a 170Hz refresh rate.
For me personally Black Ops 6 is the best COD game since MW2019.
@Pichuka97 @Staxo we've been through this. They mention Game Pass because it increases site traffic.
