I’ve been trying to convince my friends to hop on Black Ops 6 ever since it launched, but the RM300 price tag always sends them running for cover. I even pitched the much cheaper Game Pass option for just RM25 a month, but nope—they weren’t biting. Well, guess what? From 13-20 December, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is offering a free trial, so there’s officially no excuse left to dodge this one.

Xbox, PlayStation, and PC players can jump in and sample both multiplayer and Zombies modes without spending a single sen. Here’s what’s in store for the freeloaders (or should I say potential converts):

• Multiplayer Maps: Racket, Hacienda, Nuketown Holiday, Extraction, Hideout, and Heirloom.
• Game Modes: Fan favourites like Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, Domination, Kill Confirmed, Kill Order, and the quirky Prop Hunt.
• Zombies Maps: Dive into Liberty Falls and Terminus, both playable in Standard mode or the all-new Directed Mode, which gives you a hand with on-screen quest objectives.

What Else Is Cooking in Black Ops 6?

The free trial coincides with Season 1 Reloaded, which kicked off on 5 December. This mid-season update introduces Citadelle des Morts, a medieval fortress dripping with undead vibes, as the latest Zombies map.

On the multiplayer side:

• Hacienda, a beloved Black Ops 4 map, makes its grand return with its signature vineyard mansion setting.
• Racket, a brand-new 2v2/6v6 map, traps you in a high-stakes heist scenario inside a sprawling bank vault.
• Nuketown Holiday offers a festive twist, blanketing the iconic map in snow for some frosty chaos.

If you’ve been itching to try Black Ops 6, this free trial week is your golden (or should we say camo-covered) ticket. Whether you’re here to frag foes or fend off the undead, there’s never been a better time to dive in.
