Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players lament "battle passes in between battle passes" with Squid Game event

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s new in-game event based on Squid Game will go live at 6pm UK time today (10am PT / 1pm ET), but its coolest rewards are locked behind the event’s own premium battle pass.

“We got battle passes in between battle passes now,” said one unhappy player in the Black Ops 6 subreddit, whilst another opined: “This is just a test to see how much people are willing to pay.

In Eurogamer’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 review, Chris awarded it two stars out of five, writing: “For a series built on high-octane thrills and explosive gratification, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s withdrawal to the well-trodden formula echoes the wider industry’s continued allergy to risk.”
