Today, Activision rolled out a major new patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone, that brings the Season 3 content and feature additions. While some might be playing the game with the patched installed already, a good number of players on Xbox and PC can’t, as their download either gets stuck or is downloading super slow.

If you’re one of the many people that are in the process of updating Black Ops 6 and Warzone, and you’re seeing your download stall. It’s not just you.

Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 Patch Stuck Issue Plaguing Xbox, PC Players on April 2

Multiple players on the game’s subreddit have echoed the same issues wherein their download is super slow or just stops for some unknown reason.

There are more of that, but you get the gist. As far as we’re aware, Xbox Live servers are not down and is operating normally, so this problem is exclusive to Black Ops 6 players.

Black Ops 6 Season 3 Download Not Working on Xbox Possible Fix

There is one potential (might not work for everyone) fix. This issue might be happening due to disk limitation issues, without the console alerting gamers about it. The patch download is at a staggering 400GB on Xbox consoles, which I assume not a lot of players have that much free space.

Gamers can try checking their game library, deleting Modern Warfare 2 or even Modern Warfare 3 (since this will automatically download and install as part of Black Ops 6 on Game Pass). Once deleted, your download and install should proceed normally, as some have reported this works.

So far, Activision’s Call of Duty team has not acknowledged the patch download issues. Although that might change within the day.

What makes this problem all the more annoyhing for Xbox gamers is, Call of Duty and Activision is now owned by Microsoft, which owns Xbox. But it is, what it is.

If Activsion issues an announcement or official fix, we’ll add it to the article.
