Before pulling out your wallet and forking over the full cost of Black Ops 6, the free trial period gives players on all platforms a chance to test out multiplayer and Zombies.
Treyarch delivered a full slate of content in BO6. After the Season 1 Reloaded update, there are 22 multiplayer maps available. In addition, the mid-season update added two new weapons, bringing the total count up to 40.
In our review, we credited the title for offering some of the best multiplayer gameplay the series has introduced. But the real star of the show this year has been Zombies, with “amazing reviews” making fans flock over from multiplayer.
All of this combined to make BO6 the “biggest Call of Duty ever,” as the title surpassed every previous franchise entry in total players, hours played, and total matches in the first 30 days – and now players can enjoy it all for free.
