Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Releases Another Season 1 Update, New Patch Notes

More Season 1 updates have been released for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

As Season 1 rolls into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, more updates have been made to address changes to multiple areas within the game. Releasing a few weeks ago, the latest entry in the Call of Duty franchise has been a hit with gamers alike. While its campaign includes a lot of great missions, many flock to Multiplayer and Zombies for their kicks, especially with Season 1 coming out.

The first season launched just two days ago on November 13, so, naturally, patches and updates are necessary as more and more find issues. Fortunately, the patch isn’t too lengthy or critical unlike the last patch, though it fixes some exploits and stability. It’s also important to note that PlayStation 5 Pro upgrades have also been made, which is sure to be a welcome addition for console owners. The patch notes can be found below:
