Short answer: Black Ops 7 is available to download and play as of mid-November 2025, with preload and launch times varying by platform and region. Details to help you download it now

• Release window: The game officially released on November 14, 2025 in most regions, with some West Coast/early-time exceptions based on time zones. For PC users, times often align with late-night or early-morning hours across regions, while console versions follow local midnight starts. This means you can access the game in your region on or around November 14, 2025, depending on your time zone.

• Preload availability: Many players could preload the game starting November 10, 2025 in several regions, so you can install ahead of the official launch to reduce day-one wait times. The exact preload start time can differ by platform (Xbox/PC vs PlayStation) and store region.

• How to download now:
  • PC (Steam/Battle.net/others as applicable): Open your game launcher, go to the library, find Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and choose Install or Preload if available. Ensure you have sufficient disk space; modern calls typically require around 100 GB or more, depending on updates. Confirm download starts immediately if preload is active in your region.

* PlayStation: Open the PlayStation Store or your library, locate Black Ops 7, and select Download/Preload. Preloads often begin a few days before release in many regions, with full launch aligned to regional times.

* Xbox: Use the Microsoft Store or Xbox app to download or preload once the title appears in your library. Preloads frequently become available several days ahead of launch, with region-based timing for day-one access.

• What you’ll need:
  • A stable internet connection capable of handling large downloads (roughly 100 GB plus updates in many cases).

* Sufficient free disk space on your console or PC drive to accommodate the base game and future patches.

* An active account linked to the platform store (Steam/Battle.net, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live) and, if relevant, a Game Pass or platform-specific subscription may affect preload availability or access paths.

What to expect on launch

• The game supports cross-platform multiplayer progression in many regions, but check your specific platform policies for cross-play and progress transfer rules at launch.

• If you’re planning to buy a digital edition, you may receive early access perks or exclusive bundles depending on the edition you choose and any promotions running at launch.
