A new Call of Duty game is coming soon and fans everywhere are gearing up for Black Ops 7. If you are excited to jump in as soon as the game is available it is important to know the exact release time for your region because it is different depending on where you live and what platform you are using.
Black Ops 7 will launch on Friday November 14 in most places but on the West Coast of the United States the release will actually be on Thursday November 13. Console players can start playing at midnight local time. For PC players using Steam or Battle dot net the launch happens at the same moment worldwide but this means it could be earlier or later in your own time zone. For example the game goes live at 9 pm Pacific on November 13 for the West Coast US 12 am Eastern on November 14 for the East Coast US 5 am in the UK 6 am in Europe and 4 pm in Australia that same day.
If you want to play as early as possible you can use a trick by setting your console or Xbox app on PC to New Zealand time. This way you can start playing slightly earlier in some regions.
To get ready you can preload Black Ops 7 on any platform once you have bought it. Preloading means downloading the game before it unlocks so you can start playing right away. This is helpful because the game is over 100GB in size. You can also choose to only download the parts of the game you want by using the CoD HQ app. For example if you do not plan to play the campaign you can skip downloading that part to save space.
With this guide you will know exactly when you can join the action and be ready when Black Ops 7 launches in your area.
