'Call of Duty: Black Ops 6' to kick off double XP weekend on June 19
Call of Duty fans looking to power through their progression tiers have reason to celebrate: a new Double XP event is set to go live across Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone this Thursday, June 19. Quietly added to the in-game event tab, this weekend-long boost offers players the perfect opportunity to catch up on Season 4 unlocks—especially after a rocky launch that left the community divided.
With Black Ops 6 Season 4 now in full swing, Treyarch Studios is rolling out the Double XP event across all core modes—Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. Though the official end date hasn't been confirmed, these events typically wrap up on Mondays, suggesting the bonuses will be active through June 23.
While Treyarch hasn't clarified whether the upcoming weekend will include Double Weapon XP or Double Battle Pass XP, it's likely to stick to standard XP boosts. Battle Pass XP events are usually reserved for the tail end of a season, and with Season 4 just kicking off, players might have to wait a bit longer for that extra push.
The XP boost comes at a critical time. The launch of Season 4 in May was one of the most controversial updates the series has seen in recent memory. Both Black Ops 6 and Warzone were hit with a series of bugs, glitches, and performance issues—many of which rendered certain features or entire sessions unplayable for some users.
Though Treyarch and Raven Software have since rolled out hotfixes to address the majority of these problems, the damage to player sentiment was already done. The new Double XP weekend could be part of a broader effort to re-engage the community and reassure players that the developers are back on track.
Even with the turbulence surrounding Season 4, Black Ops 6 continues to receive a steady stream of updates, and momentum is already building for the next installment. Following its official reveal earlier this month, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is confirmed to take place in the year 2035 and will act as a direct sequel to the beloved Black Ops 2.
The campaign will bring back key characters including David Mason and the infamous Raul Menendez. While the release date has yet to be confirmed, fans can expect Black Ops 7 to drop in the series' traditional fall window—either late October or early November. Activision has confirmed platform support across both current and last-gen consoles: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
