The roadmap to Black Ops 6 includes new optimizations to the Call of Duty experience, including smaller downloads and streamlined menus

The Call of Duty experience will undergo a series of updates to streamline and improve the UI and file sizes.

What you need to know

  • Call of Duty is a long-running first-person shooter franchise developed by multiple studios, including Treyarch, Infinity Ward, and Sledgehammer, and published by Activision (now a part of Xbox Game Studios.)
  • With the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022), subsequent annual premium CoD titles were bundled into one launcher with the free-to-play battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone. This resulted in a massive game file that took a long time for many to download.
  • A new series of updates is set to deploy ahead of the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 in October. These updates will optimize the Call of Duty experience, decouple premium titles from Warzone, expand on texture streaming tech, and streamline the UI.
  • The first step in the update series launches alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's Season 5 Reloaded update on August 21.
