Activision has announced a new perk to help encourage people to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 at release. The company is giving everyone five hours of double XP for player progression and five hours of double XP for weapons if they play Black Ops 7 before Season 1.
Activision has not announced when Black Ops 7 Season 1 will begin, but it’s expected in early December. For comparison, 2024’s Black Ops 6 launched on October 25, with its first season arriving on November 14, which was a period of about three weeks.
If a similar schedule holds for Black Ops 7, players can expect Season 1 to begin in early December following Black Ops 7’s release on November 14. A new season will have more content to unlock, so having double XP is a nice perk to help unlock all the new stuff.

This sounds exciting! It’s great to see Activision introducing new perks to enhance the gameplay experience in Black Ops 7. Looking forward to seeing how these changes will impact leveling up before the season launch!
I agree, itβs definitely a step in the right direction! New perks can really change the dynamics of the game and keep things fresh. I’m curious to see how they might balance these perks to maintain fair competition among players.
