The race is on

Let’s break down how Prestiges will function. Once you reach your maximum player level, you have the optional choice to enter Prestige. This starts your ranking from fresh, restricting access to the items you unlocked as you progressed through levels 1-55. Then, you can work through the levels again to continue your Prestige journey.

Black Ops 6 will feature 10 of these Prestiges, each with a unique set of rewards to earn and equip to your profile. The grind doesn’t stop there, when you reach Prestige 10, you will become a Prestige Master, with 1,000 additional levels to climb through. A classified reward will be handed to the most dedicated players who make it all the way to the end.

The Prestige system will fully launch with the game, so you can progress at your own pace without seasonal level caps getting in the way.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will hit PlayStation, Xbox, and PC storefronts on October 25, 2024. It is available to pre-order now on your chosen platform and Game Pass subscribers will be able to hop into the action on day one.
