If you’re looking to play Black Ops 6 right when it launches on October 25, you’ll want to have the game preloaded. This means knowing the Black Ops 6 release times for your time zone, and how big the file size is so you can make room. From what we played of the beta, Black Ops 6 certainly has a chance of ending up on our best FPS gameslist by the end of the year, so we’ll certainly be preloading it as soon as possible.

Black Ops 6 releases later this week, having already wowed players who jumped in to try out beta with its new movement mechanics and fast-paced combat. You’ll be able to play on Game Pass this time as well, meaning that if you’re a subscriber, you can jump in at no extra cost.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Black Ops 6 preload, including when it goes live, as well as the file size on PC and consoles. We now have an exact time for when the preload goes live, so you can start clearing space for what is, predictably, quite a sizeable download.
