On November 14, 2025, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 finally made its global debut — marking the arrival of the next major chapter in one of gaming’s most iconic shooter franchises. The new installment launched simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, and was added to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass from day one, giving millions of players instant access. PC users, however, will need to meet modern system requirements to jump in. That includes mandatory support for TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot — security features that are now part of the Call of Duty installation process. Black Ops 7 comes packed with content right out of the gate. Players can team up for a cooperative story campaign, dive into an expanded endgame experience, or jump into a massive multiplayer lineup that Activision calls the biggest first-season launch in the franchise’s history. And, of course, the beloved Zombies mode makes its return, bringing its signature chaos along with new surprises.
As usual, many eager fans didn’t wait for the official release. By switching their console region to New Zealand, players gained early access, flooding social media and video platforms with first impressions, gameplay clips, and heated discussions. The campaign narrative, in particular, has already sparked intense debate thanks to its bold twists and unexpected storytelling choices. With its global launch underway and conversations erupting across the community, Black Ops 7 is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about Call of Duty releases in years.
