Last Saturday, June 9, after the presentation of the Xbox Games Showcase, we were able to learn a lot of information about the new installment of Activision’s series of war titles. We learned that it will have 16 new maps in release, which will continue the story of Black Ops Cold War and many of its playable new features, but there was one aspect that they did not promote much. It turns out that even if we are going to play only the single player campaign, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 It will require a permanent Internet connection.
If we visit the publication about the editions of the game on the franchise’s official blog We will find, semi-hidden at the bottom of the note, information about it.
This is what it says:
Is an internet connection required to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6?
«To deliver the highest quality graphics and reduce the space the game takes up on your hard drive, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will use texture streaming in all game modes. This means that you will need a permanent internet connection to play any game mode, including the campaign.«.
The issue of games that require a permanent internet connection, even if they are for a single player, is quite controversial in the gaming community. Despite the prevalence of the Internet, there are many parts of the world that still do not have reliable connections and there is nothing more exasperating than being “kicked” from a game because the connection is interrupted for another few seconds. Other players are wary of these requirements due to privacy and information security issues.
Require Internet connection to play the single player campaign of a Call of Duty It’s not something new for PC gamers, Black Ops 6 It will be the first to demand something like this from players on consoles.
This game will be released for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X|S and PC on October 25, 2024.
