Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is nearing its October 25 release date, and ahead of that, Activision has confirmed a key detail about the shooter’s campaign mode. Like past entries in the series and many other games across the board, Black Ops 6’s campaign will require an internet connection on all platforms.
A FAQ page spotted by CharlieIntel confirms that players will need a “continuous internet connection” to play any of Black Ops 6’s modes, including campaign. Activision said this requirement is in place to “deliver the highest-quality visuals while also reducing the game’s overall storage space on your hard drive.”

Now Playing: Black Ops 6 – Campaign Intel Drop Trailer
As announced previously, Black Ops 6 utilizes a new streaming technology for textures that helps reduce the game’s overall file size. “With these capabilities, we can cycle content that is less frequently used by players to a streaming cache, avoiding the need to download it directly to your device’s storage. Going forward, more content will be included in this cache,” Activision said in August.
While being always online is a requirement for Black Ops 6’s campaign, Activision confirmed that players do not need a paid subscription to PlayStation Plus or Game Pass Core to play the story mode.
Black Ops 6’s campaign takes place in 1991 during the Gulf War and tells a mind-bending story involving conspiracies. Unlike with 2023’s Modern Warfare 3, Black Ops 6 is not offering early access to the game’s campaign for people who pay extra.
“This year, we made the decision to ensure the community gets to dig in to any modes that they want at the same time, so we are back to one massive global launch moment October 25th,” Activision said.
Players who beat the Black Ops 6 campaign will earn a variety of rewards for multiplayer, Zombies, and other parts of the game. Check out GameSpot’s full rundown of all the Black Ops 6 campaign rewards.
