Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Zombies is free for the week

Fans of the Call of Duty franchise can now join in on the fun with the newest titles as the Black Ops Cold War multiplayer and Zombies game modes are available to download for free and will last over the weekend.

This gives players who don’t want to spend the original £60 price tag a chance to give the game a try before they decide whether it’s worth paying for or not.

From today until next Thursday, July 29, players can try Cold War multiplayer or Zombies by accessing the main game screen via Warzone or the Modern Warfare multiplayer.

Multiplayer modes and maps will include NukeJacked 24/7, Paintball Moshpit, Throwback Moshpit, Party Games, Team Deathmatch, and more.

Free access players will also have complete access to Treyarch’s Zombie game mode maps including the brand new Mauer der Toten map that was released in Season 4 Reloaded.

Meanwhile, all players will be able to earn double XP this weekend in Black Ops Cold War and Zombies game modes.

The double XP weekend starts at 6 pm and ends on Monday, July 26.

Players can also try Call of Duty’s first ever objective-based game mode, Payload, which pits two large teams against each other as they fight to attack or defend a convoy of trucks across Verdansk.

Activision stated in a blog post: “Those who play Warzone will find all their Black Ops Cold War weapons and global level progress intact within the trial, and any progress earned during the trial will carry right back over to Warzone .”
