When does Black Ops 6 season 1 Reloaded release?

Season 1 Reloaded is coming to Black Ops 6 this week, and will bring with it a host of new modes, maps, weapons, and perks.

Below, we’ll walk you through when season 1 Reloaded releases in Black Ops 6 — broken down by time zone — and what you can expect from this mid-season update.

Black Ops 6 season 1 Reloaded release time: When does the new BO6 update launch?

Season 1 Reloaded, the mid-season patch for Black Ops 6’s first season, will hit the game on Thursday, Dec. 5.

While Treyarch hasn’t announced an official release time for the Reloaded patch, we can extrapolate an imprecise window based on when previous updates — like new maps, as well as events like double XP — have rolled out. With that in mind, here’s when you’ll likely be able to play the mid-season patch based on your time zone:

• 9-11 a.m. PST for the West Coast of North America
• 12-2 p.m. EST for the East Coast of North America
• 5-7 p.m. GMT for the U.K.
• 6-8 p.m. CET for Western Europe/Paris
• 2-4 a.m. JST on Dec. 6 for Tokyo

We’ll update this guide if and when Treyarch announces a formal release time for the release of season 1 Reloaded.
