Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is rapidly approaching, officially launching on November 14. With a huge amount of content available at launch and a highly anticipated Season 1 arriving later in December, there’s plenty for players to dive into when the game drops.
Black Ops 7 brings players a gripping single-player Campaign, fast-paced Multiplayer, and round-based Zombies set in the Dark Aether universe. However, with the game’s release right around the corner, many players have questions. From its availability on Game Pass to its full price and potential early access, here are all your burning Black Ops 7 questions answered.
Activision Removes Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Pre-Order Bonus

How Much Does Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Cost?
For those looking to pick up the Standard Edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, it will cost $69.99. The Standard Edition includes the full base game with access to all modes but does not come with any bonus cosmetics or special edition perks.
However, players who pre-order the Standard Edition will receive the Guild Override Weapon Camo, available in both Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7, along with the Reznov Challenge Pack for Black Ops 6. Those who purchase the Standard Edition after launch will not receive the pre-order camo bonus or the Reznov Challenge Pack.
What Platforms is Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Available On?

Is There a Physical Copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7?
Yes, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will feature physical copies available for purchase from local retailers once the game hits shelves on November 14. Players can also pre-order physical copies ahead of launch, with pre-order and edition bonuses likely provided as a code that can be redeemed on the official Call of Duty redemption page to download the included content.
Will Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Be Available on Game Pass?
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will be available on Game Pass day one when it launches on November 14. Black Ops 7 will be accessible to Game Pass Ultimate and Game Pass PC subscribers, granting full access to the base game. However, bonuses and extras included with the Vault Edition will not be available through Game Pass.
What Are The Minimum PC Requirements for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7?
To play Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on PC, players will need to meet the following minimum requirements or better:
- Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 / Intel Core i5-6600
- RAM: 8 GB
- GPU: AMD RX 470 / Intel Arc A580 / NVIDIA GTX 970
- Video Memory: 3 GB
- Storage: 60 GB of free SSD storage
Will Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Require TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot to Play on PC?
Yes, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will require TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot to be enabled. In most cases, these settings are enabled by default, but custom-built PCs may have them turned off. Both TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot can be enabled through your system’s BIOS settings.
However, if you already have both enabled and Call of Duty still doesn’t recognize them, you may also need to download the latest BIOS firmware update from your motherboard manufacturer. For more details on how to enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot for Call of Duty, check out this guide here.
Can I Play Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Early?
As of the time of writing, no, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will not launch with early access. Instead, the game will be playable worldwide on November 14.
However, if Black Ops 7 features a staggered release like past Call of Duty titles, players may be able to use the New Zealand method to play the game early in their time zone by changing both their device and Activision account regional settings to New Zealand.
This method does come with some limitations, as it currently only works for Xbox and Xbox on PC. However, players on other platforms may be able to bypass this limitation by receiving an invitation from those who gain access to the game using the New Zealand method.
Does Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Feature Carry Forward?
Yes, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 does feature Carry Forward, but only a small portion of content from previous games will carry over. As of right now, weapons and operator skins from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will not be usable in Black Ops 7, with a few exceptions. Any content that players already own will still be usable in Call of Duty: Warzone, however.
Here is all the content that will carry forward into Black Ops 7:
- All Black Ops 6 Zombies Easter‑Egg Operator Skins (Trophy Collector Maya, Jackknife Hudson, PhDeadly Carver, Blood, Sweat, and Gears Grey)
- New Orders Prestige Level 1000 Operator Skin for Samuels
- Earned Double XP Tokens
- Earned Black Ops 6 GobbleGums
- Black Ops 6 Zombies Field Upgrades and Perks (certain Field Upgrades will not carry over until Season 1)
- Applicable Augments
All other content, including the Reznov Challenge Pack, will not transfer over to Black Ops 7.
When Will Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's Content Be Available in Warzone?
Black Ops 7's content, including movement systems, weapons, operators, equipment, and more, will all be available in Call of Duty: Warzone during the game’s integration for Black Ops 7 Season 1. The current release date for Season 1 is unknown, but it will likely drop in December.
For Season 1, players will be able to use all the weapons and earned operators from Black Ops 7 inside Warzone. All progression between the two games will also sync, meaning that players’ weapon levels and career ranks will transfer to Warzone with the integration.
At this time, much of Black Ops 7's and Warzone's Season 1 content will debut, including Haven's Hollow, the new Resurgence map. However, whether Haven's Hollow will be available at Season 1's launch or in‑season is still unconfirmed.
Will My Beta Progress Carry Over To Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's Launch?
No, your career rank and weapon levels from the Black Ops 7 Beta will not carry over to the full launch. Instead, all players will start from scratch. Any rewards obtained during the Beta period, however, will be available to use at launch.
