Activision’s launch materials presented three main parts of the game: campaign, multiplayer and round-based Zombies.
#1 Best Overall
- Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower.
- This is signature Black Ops across a cinematic single-player Campaign, a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, and the epic return of Round-Based Zombies.
- The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
- In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
- Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
Campaign
Activision described the single-player campaign as a cinematic spy-action thriller, with varied play spaces, set pieces, heists and spy activity. Those are the publisher’s descriptions of the campaign’s premise and structure, not an independent assessment of how it plays.
Multiplayer
Call of Duty’s launch communications announced 16 multiplayer maps for launch. That is the launch count, not a current total for a game that may receive later content.
Rank #2

- TACTICAL DMZ OPERATIONS — Deploy behind enemy lines as an off‑the‑books asset, making high‑risk decisions on objectives and extraction in a dynamic mode where every run counts.
Omnimovement was another promoted launch feature. The publisher said it was designed to support fast, responsive action; that is a feature description, not a measured performance finding.
Round-based Zombies
The game brought back round-based Zombies. Call of Duty announced two new Zombies maps at launch; that figure refers to the initial launch lineup, not a current map count.

Was Black Ops 6 on Game Pass?
Yes. Around launch, Xbox announced day-one availability with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Activision Support specified access on Xbox consoles and on PC through Microsoft Store. These are launch-era announcements, so they confirm the original offering rather than the game’s present catalog status.
Xbox Wire also said Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) access for Game Pass Ultimate members would begin rolling out at launch on October 25, 2024. That announcement does not establish current cloud availability, eligibility in a particular region, or access under a reader’s current plan.

What the launch details do—and do not—tell you

They do not establish current Game Pass or cloud availability, current prices, or present-day live-service totals. The cited official materials also do not provide a verified sales, player-count or revenue figure, so none is included here.
