Black Ops 6 & Warzone Update 1.82

Call of Duty players might have noticed Activision has released a new game update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone today, which shows up as version 1.82/1.082 (complete version 1.082.000), and there’s no fanfare around it.

Well, it’s because it’s a game update for the Black Ops 7 beta, which kicks off this week!

It seems the Black Ops 7 beta client won’t be standalone, and is housed inside the Call of Duty HQ App.

Black Ops 6 and Warzone’s Latest Update on Oct. 1 Wil Need You to Require a Hefty Download

If you downloaded the game update and noticed nothing’s new in Black Ops 6 and Warzone, it’s because there doesn’t seem to be any gameplay-related changes.

Unfortunately, it appears that the download is mandatory, even if you don’t want to participate in the beta. The Black Ops 7 beta download will require at least 42 GB of space on PS5.

If you don’t have early access to the beta, don’t fret, as you can enter our giveaway to snag one.
