With the fast-paced action and countless situations unfolding in Black Ops 6 Multiplayer matches, it’s easy to get caught up in the heat of the moment. That’s where Theater Mode comes in, allowing you to review and analyze your gameplay after the match ends.

Originally introduced by Treyarch with the first Black Ops and available through various games in the franchise, Theater Mode quickly became a fan-favorite feature. It not only gives players the chance to replay their matches, but also provides content creators with the tools to craft iconic montages. Here’s how you can access and use Theater Mode in BO6.

Theater Mode in Black Ops 6 allows you to replay recent Multiplayer matches and relive all the action in detail. Theater lets players do the following:

  • Take screenshots
  • Fast-forward
  • Rewind and pause at specific moments
  • Switch between first- and third-person perspectives
  • Use a fly-cam to explore the map
  • Skip directly to moments with Eliminations or Deaths
  • Record clips directly to the console

Keep in mind that saved files will expire seven days after they are created or whenever a game update occurs. This feature is exclusive to new-gen consoles (PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S) and PC (via Battle.net, Steam, and Xbox Game Pass), meaning players on last-gen consoles won’t have access to this feature.

Theater is ideal for analyzing gameplay or reviewing opponents to discover new strategies and map spots. Additionally, the freedom to roam the map or focus on enemy players is perfect for creating custom montages, a tradition cherished within the Call of Duty community. Theater Mode has returned for the first time since its last appearance in Treyarch’s previous installment, Black Ops Cold War. This is also the first time the feature is available following the launch of Call of Duty HQ, the app that consolidates all modern CoD games.
