Summary
After years of requests,Call of Duty: Black Ops 6has finally added an especially desired feature to its massive Zombies mode. As the annual shooter franchise has evolved over the years,Zombies has turned into an experience all its own, becoming the sole reason many pick up each new installment at launch. Thanks to a zany storyline of cheesy villains and mad-cap science, as well as its fast-paced, frenetic co-op action, Zombies is an institution; one can hardly imagine a newCall of Dutywithout some kind of undead mode.
Per a post on X (formerly Twitter),Call of Dutyconfirmed thata Solo match ofBlack Ops 6’s Zombies will allow players to save their gameso they can quit and pick it up later.
Zombies will also save if it’s left on pause for a certain amount of team, meaning users won’t need to leave their devices on overnight to preserve an especially impressive run. There are some limitations to prevent players from cheating the system:Saving can only be completed provided users are “at full health, aren’t downed, dead, or actively engaged in an Exfil.”

The Biggest Horde Yet
While Zombies may have eked its way intoModern Warfare III, the mode is synonymous with theBlack Opssub-franchise so it stands to reason that the sixth entry incorporates some more substantial improvements. Aside from the ability to save a game in a Solo match,players will also be able to join a friend’s game no matter their progression, making for seamless drop-in/drop-out co-opwith private matchmaking. The implementation of a new omnidirectional movement system should also ensure that characters can move through each expansive map faster than ever.
Aside from these quality-of-life improvements,Black Ops 6’s Zombies will feel instantly familiar to anyone who played the previous generations.Powerful items like GobbleGum Machines and Perk-a-Colas make a return to shake up combatand deliver the power fantasy that’s become an essential component of theCall of Dutyfranchise. Each new map will also feature a “guided mode” to help new players learn the ins and outs of every location but this system will arrive after veterans have had a moment toexplore every nook and crannythemselves.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6is slated to drop on October 25 and will be available as a Day One release on Xbox Game Pass. A major strategy for Microsoft, there’s a great deal riding on the game tojustify increasing the price of the subscription service. SinceModern Warfare 3’s Zombies proved to be somewhat of a disappointment, one has to hope that the next installmentlives up to the series' lineage.
