Black Ops 6 and Warzone offer a dynamic range of game modes, including popular choices like Battle Royale and Resurgence, alongside classic Multiplayer options such as Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Search & Destroy. The frequent introduction of Limited-Time Modes (LTMs) and playlist rotations keeps the gameplay exciting and unpredictable.

This guide details the Call of Duty playlist system and lists the currently active modes in both BO6 and Warzone as of January 9, 2025.

Understanding Call of Duty Mode Playlists

The playlist system in Call of Duty titles, including Black Ops 6 and Warzone, is designed to maintain a consistently engaging experience. By rotating game modes, maps, and party sizes, players are constantly presented with fresh challenges and a variety of gameplay options, preventing monotony. New modes and variations on existing ones are frequently introduced to keep the action dynamic.

Playlist Update Schedule

Black Ops 6 and Warzone playlist updates are typically released weekly, every Thursday at 10 AM PT. These updates introduce new game modes, adjust player counts, or make other refinements to enhance the overall gameplay. While the schedule is generally consistent, occasional variations may occur, particularly during significant events, season launches, or mid-season updates. Some updates may focus on minor adjustments rather than substantial mode changes.
