The Black Ops 6 Season 1 release date is right around the corner, given that the game is now out for all players. In the coming days, players will be treated to a new Battle Pass to work through, changes to Warzone, as well as some new content for Multiplayer. Activision has now announced the specifics regarding Season One, and has confirmed the launch times for each timezone.

If you weren't aware, new Call of Duty games tend to launch in a sort of pre-season state these days. This gives players the chance to jump into the game, leveling up guns and getting to grips with the map selection before new content is added. As such, there's currently no Battle Pass, but that's set to change. Even without Season One content, we're having a blast with Black Ops 6, and it's certainly looking to be a contender for our list of the best FPS games to play in 2024.

As we near the Black Ops 6 Season 1 release time, we'll likely start to hear even more on what'll be added, and on the precise timings. For now, here's everything we know so far, including a look at when Season One comes out.
