Activision Is Trying Really Hard To Get You To Play Black Ops 7 Right Now

"For starters, Activision has launched a new week-long free trial for Black Ops 7's multiplayer mode. In the free trial, which runs December 16-22, players can access 20+ maps and try the Ashes of the Damned map for Zombies. In terms of modes, players can try out mainstays like Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, Domination, and Kill Confirmed, as well as the Holiday Havoc mode and Prop Hunt."

"Alongside this, Activision has discounted Black Ops 7 by up to 30%. This brings the price down to from $70 to $49 for the standard edition, or from $100 to $80 for the Vault Edition. If you're playing on Xbox or PC, you can access Black Ops 7 with Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass. Microsoft recently brought back the $1 trial, which means new subscribers can get Game Pass Ultimate for $1 for the first month."

"Black Ops 7 launched in November and reportedly had a weak comparison to 2024's Black Ops 6 in terms of sales. This could help explain why Activision is offering a discount on the game about a month after launch, though there could be other reasons as well. In other news, Activision has said it will no longer release Call of Duty games in the same sub-series, like Modern Warfare or Black Ops, in consecutive years."

Activision launched a week-long free multiplayer trial for Black Ops 7 from December 16–22, offering access to 20+ maps and the Ashes of the Damned Zombies map. Players can try modes including Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, Domination, Kill Confirmed, Holiday Havoc, and Prop Hunt. The game is discounted up to 30%, lowering the standard edition from $70 to $49 and the Vault Edition from $100 to $80. Xbox and PC players can access the game through Xbox Game Pass or PC Game Pass, with a $1 Game Pass Ultimate trial recently reintroduced for new subscribers. Black Ops 7 saw weaker sales versus Black Ops 6, and Activision will avoid consecutive-year releases within the same sub-series. Circana will report US sales on December 17, and Game Pass availability may affect sales totals.
