Hardware Ready Ready to Bench?
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone – Season 06: The Haunting is available right now on September 17, 2026, on PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, and Battle.net in Italy.
To access the seasonal content, you must download the update: Warzone is free-to-play, while Black Ops 7 requires the base game.
Black Ops 7 Season 06: why it matters
The launch is global and simultaneous on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. Access is granted via an update from your platform’s client.
Activision indicated Pacific Time (PT) as the worldwide launch time across all platforms. Considering that Italy observes CEST daylight saving time on September 17, with a nine-hour difference from the Pacific time zone, the Italian time can be derived.
The unlock is global and not tied to local midnight in individual countries. Playlists and seasonal content should be available after installing the update and connecting to online services.
The update downloads from the PlayStation Store or system client on PS5 and PS4, from the Microsoft Store on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One, and via Steam or Battle.net on PC. It is recommended to manually check for updates in your platform library if you have already installed Call of Duty.
On PC, it is advisable to keep your chosen launcher open and ensure sufficient free space before activating the content.
No official time has been announced for preloading the update, which may be available early on some platforms depending on the client and region. Early download does not guarantee immediate access to new playlists, which are tied to the global unlock communicated by Activision.
Call of Duty: Warzone content is accessible for free after installing the game and the update. Black Ops 7 Multiplayer, Zombies, and Endgame modes require access to the base title instead. Battle Pass, BlackCell, and cosmetic packs remain separate and optional purchases.
What Changes and What Are the Effects
Season 06 introduces the Haunted Hollow map (a variant of Haven’s Hollow) and the temporary Giant Infected mode for 64 players in Warzone. For Black Ops 7, Multiplayer maps Quantum and Bloodstead, T.E.D.D. Trials mode, and Zombies Survival map Tenshu are scheduled.
The update also includes new weapons, weekly challenges, seasonal rewards, and horror-themed content.
To use online features, an Activision account linked to your platform account is required. On consoles, the multiplayer service requirements indicated by the respective store may apply.
Activision has not communicated a specific time window for server maintenance or reopening. Queues, client restarts, or delays in playlist appearance may occur during the global rollout.
Season 06 is also available on PS4 and Xbox One, but Activision announced that Warzone will no longer be playable on these consoles starting from the next Season 1 linked to Modern Warfare 4.
