Black Ops 6’s first major update will be Season 1, bringing the first Battle Pass, new maps, weapons, and more, but when does it arrive?

Ahead of Season 1 starting, Treyarch has already rolled out a few exciting updates. On Oct. 29, BO6 re-introduced the iconic game mode Infected and made a few Face-Off and Kill Order changes to improve the experience of both game modes.

In addition, BO6 finally marks the return of Nuketown, as the fan-favorite map received a faithful remaster for the first time in 14 years.
