Early-access downloads for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 1 have begun rolling out, marking one of the largest updates in the franchise’s history. The update is massive, with reports of download sizes reaching up to 170 GB, largely due to integration with Warzone and the inclusion of Multiplayer, Campaign, Zombies, and Warzone content. For a budget-friendly experience, you can buy a CoD BO7 Bot Lobby and enjoy easy matches without breaking the bank.

The download size varies by platform and installed modes. For example, Battle.net users report a full download size of about 172 GB, while PlayStation users see a smaller download size of around 40-50 GB for the update alone, excluding the entire game installation size. Xbox download sizes are reported to be over 100 GB, but can vary depending on the configuration. The size mainly depends on whether players have Warzone installed, as the Warzone integration makes up a significant portion of the download.

The update includes several new multiplayer maps such as Utopia, a medium-sized 6v6 map; Fate, a map featuring teleporters from the campaign; Odysseus, a smaller 6v6 and 2v2 linear map; and Standoff, a classic map returning from Black Ops 2. Additional maps like Meltdown, Yaki, and Slay Jack are scheduled for mid-season releases in the Reloaded update. On Warzone, players will get a new map called Haven’s Hollow, full integration updates, and new points of interest (POIs).

Aside from the new maps, the update introduces a new Battle Pass, launching alongside the season, with various operator rewards, weapon blueprints, and themed content. New game modes such as Prop Hunt, One in the Chamber, and Sharpshooter will be available at launch, with more modes added as weekly playlist updates. Warzone will feature Battle Royale and Resurgence Casual modes from day one, with additional limited-time modes launching throughout the season.

Weekly challenges, DLC weapons, a new movement system, improved perks, and a camo grind are part of the new gameplay features. While the community has noted the update's large file size, the massive amount of new content justifies it.

This update marks a significant milestone for the Call of Duty franchise, combining a large volume of fresh content with technical upgrades, ensuring players have thrilling and engaging experiences from the start of the season.
