Black Ops 7 release time for your timezone – here's when BO7 launches for PC and consoles
Also info on pre-loading the game
The Black Ops 7 releases today, meaning we'll all be playing the brand new Call of Duty game very soon indeed. Depending on what platform you're playing on, the launch time is different, so I've collected all of the key info below so that you can play Black Ops 7 as early as possible.
From what we've seen so far, Black Ops 7 is going all-in on futuristic warfare, with plenty of returning characters leading the campaign. Interestingly, the campaign can be played co-op with up to four players, and there's an endgame to work through once you're done. It remains to be seen how Black Ops 7 will land, especially given it's only been a year since Black Ops 6. If the new shift in gameplay works, however, then we could be seeing Black Ops 7 ranking highly in our best FPS games list by the end of the year.
Here's everything you need to know about the Black Ops 7 release time. This includes start dates on PC and consoles, and how to preload the game. As we move closer to launch, it's likely we'll hear more from developer Treyarch. Once we do, this page will be updated.
