Warzone and MW3 players are gearing up for Season 6. It is scheduled to arrive soon. This article provides key information on the release date, preload options and details for players across different platforms.
Warzone & MW3 Season 6 Release Date and Time
Season 6 is available for Warzone and MW3 players from Wednesday, September 18, 2024. Players can start accessing the new content at 9 AM PT, 12 PM ET, or 5 PM BST. At this time, the Season 5 Battle Pass will be removed.
File Size for Warzone & MW3 Season 6 Update
The update for Season 6 is expected to be smaller compared to the Season 5 Reloaded update. While Season 5 Reloaded required around 110 GB on PC, the upcoming patch is estimated to range between 20-30 GB. This reduction in size is because Season 6 is not part of the major rework seen in the previous update, which included the Black Ops 6 beta files.
How to Preload Update?
Preloading allows players to download the update before it becomes available, ensuring they are ready to play once it goes live. Here is how to preload the update on different platforms:
PlayStation
- Go to the Call of Duty app on the home screen.
- Press the ‘Options’ button.
- Select ‘Check for Update.’
- If preloads are available, the download will appear.
- Press ‘OK’ to begin installing the file.
Battle.net (PC)
- Log into your Battle.net account.
- Select the Call of Duty app from the drop-down menu.
- Click on ‘Options.’
- Choose ‘Check for Updates.’
- If the download is available, confirm to start the installation.
Preload times vary, and downloads may become available anytime within 24 hours before the start time of Season 6. It is common for the preload option to appear just a few hours before the season begins, so players should remain patient if they do not see the option right away.
Can Xbox Users Preload?
Unfortunately, Xbox users do not have the option to preload the update for Season 6. Xbox players will need to start downloading the update once it becomes available at 9 AM PT, 12 PM ET, or 5 PM BST. However, since the update is smaller in size, the download process should not take too long.
Start Playing After the Download
Once the download is completed and the update is live, players can jump right into the action and experience the new features of Season 6.
