Season 1 is about to start in Black Ops 7, and the developers have released the patch notes for the respective update. These notes list all the additions coming to the game, as well as all the changes that aren't usually disclosed in the roadmap or marketing material.

From all the weapon balance changes to the adjustments in playlists, gameplay features, and even bug fixes. Here is everything you need to know about the Season 1 patch so you can prepare accordingly for its launch.

When Does Black Ops 7 Season 1 Come Out?

Season 1 for Black Ops 7 and Warzone is scheduled to begin on Thursday, December 4th, for all platforms. The patch will go live at 9:00 AM PT (5:00 PM GMT) as usual, and players will be able to enjoy the new content immediately.

The patch is already available to preload for PC players on Battle.net, allowing them to download the files and be ready for release. The preload for console users will begin a few hours before launch, giving them less time to prepare.
