Battle Pass Integration

The Battle Pass system continues, with Season One coming loaded with brand new content forย Black Ops Cold Warย andย Warzone. Progress through the Battle Pass system by playing any of the three games. Battle Pass content you unlock is shown in-game, no matter which game youโ€™re playing.

Modern Warfareย Battle Pass content earned and store purchases are planned to continue to be available inย Modern Warfareย andย Warzone. While we continue to optimize for platforms and disk space, we plan to retain allย Modern Warfareย content for continued use inย Warzoneย at least through the initialย Black Ops Cold Warย seasons of content.

For Season One, expect a multitude of fresh and exciting Battle Pass items you can access both inย Black Ops Cold Warย andย Warzone.

While Season One Battle Pass content is accessible inย Black Ops Cold Warย andย Warzone, players will still be able to progress the Battle Pass by playingย Modern Warfare.

Store Access

From the start of Season One, players will be able to access the in-game store, and use their COD Points to purchase a wide variety of cosmetic bundles. Each titleโ€™s in-game store will be carefully curated to feature content available to play in that game. Items also available to be played inย Warzoneย will be clearly labeled.

Black Ops Cold Warย Store:ย Purchase content to utilize inย Black Ops Cold War. Nearly all content fromย Black Ops Cold Warย is usable inย Warzoneย but all items will be clearly labeled.

Warzoneย Store:ย This store offers a mixture of content from bothย Black Ops Cold Warย andย Modern Warfareย games, nearly all of which can be utilized inย Warzoneย and the game for which it was designed. All items will be clearly labeled.

Modern Warfareย Store:ย Purchase content to utilize inย Modern Warfare. Most content fromย Modern Warfareย is usable inย Warzoneย but all items will be clearly labeled.

Cross-Play. Cross-Progression. Cross-Generation. Cross-Title Access

Experience the next generation of global combat as one community, regardless of the platform or console generation you playย Black Ops Cold War,ย Warzone, orย Modern Warfareย on,ย as detailed in this blog post.

Cross-Title Access: No matter what game you are playing โ€“ or the platform youโ€™re playing it on โ€“ access and invite your friends to join you.ย Cross-Title Invitesย allow you to invite your friends who are playingย Modern Warfareย orย Warzoneย to join you inย Black Ops Cold War, and vice versa, with the party leader navigating to the title everyone wishes to play. The result is more flexibility and ease in gathering your friends for a Multiplayer match, Zombies experience (inย Black Ops Cold War), or drop into Verdansk.


Furthermore, Activision stated that they don’t plan on removing content from warzone, ensuring players that they are still determined to deliver the best possible experience for everyone.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War launches on Friday, November 13th. So make sure to pre-load the game, which is available right now on all platforms.
