⏳ Black Ops 7 Release Countdown

The global launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is officially scheduled for November 14, 2025. On PC via Steam and Battle.net, the game unlocks worldwide at the same time — November 13 at 9 PM PT — which translates to early morning hours on November 14 in many regions.

Console players, on the other hand, will be able to start playing at midnight local time. That means if you’re in a region ahead of the U.S., like New Zealand or Japan, you’ll get access several hours before North American players.

Example: The game unlocks at 9 PM PT on November 13, which means players in Japan can jump in around 2 PM JST on November 14, while those in London can start at 5 AM GMT.

🕒 Black Ops 7 Release Time by Platform

Xbox (All Editions)	Local Midnight, November 14, 2025	Unlocks earlier for Eastern regions
PC (Steam & Battle.net)	9 PM PT, November 13, 2025	Simultaneous worldwide release

Players on console will see a rolling launch — meaning the game goes live at midnight according to your region’s local time. If you’re in a country that’s far ahead of the U.S., you’ll be able to play first. For example, players in New Zealand will start hours before those in the United States.
