Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has revealed the official preload times for every region, making it easier to get ready for the game’s launch on November 14. Black Ops 7 was briefly playable in October thanks to an open beta, but servers went offline for the month in between the beta and launch. The full game will require a fresh download, so it’s best to get things set up ahead of time.
In the meantime, pre-orders are available from major retailers and digital storefronts. For those still unsure about the game, there’s also no harm in waiting to see reviews and potentially skipping the pre-order and preload process entirely. After the successful launch of Battlefield 6, Black Ops 7 will have to overcome some stiff competition.
