Сheaters in Black Ops 6 kick players, Activision made false claims about fixing the issue

A video showcasing a hacking tool capable of removing players from Black Ops 6 matches emerged online in late January. Activision responded, stating the footage was from the Black Ops 6 multiplayer beta and that the vulnerability had been patched before the game's November release. They emphasized the video doesn't reflect the current game state and that they investigate all such reports.

However, players dispute Activision's claim, citing ongoing use of the tool. Evidence presented includes a video demonstrating the tool's functionality during a match on the Nuketown map, a location added to Black Ops 6 a week post-launch.

According to Circana analysts, Black Ops 6 was the best-selling game in the U.S. last year, continuing the Call of Duty franchise's 16-year reign at the top of the U.S. gaming market. Separately, EA Sports College Football 25, released in July, was the most played sports game in the country.

Despite a 1.1% year-over-year decrease in overall U.S. gamer spending in 2024, Circana attributes this to reduced hardware sales, noting a 2% increase in add-on spending and a 6% rise in service spending. Black Ops 6 and Warzone 2's second season, featuring a ninja theme and a "Terminator" crossover, launched January 28th.
