Complete guide to Warzone & Black Ops Cold War Season 4 launch times and updates
Season 4 Overview
The highly anticipated Season 4 update for Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War brings substantial content refreshes to both titles. Following the massive success of Season 3, this update introduces new combat dynamics with additional weapons, redesigned map areas, and quality-of-life improvements.
Strategic timing is crucial – while both games share a Season 4 launch, their update schedules differ significantly. Black Ops Cold War players gain early access to download the update before Warzone’s content becomes available.
Warzone Season 4 Update Schedule
The Warzone update initiates the global Season 4 rollout on Wednesday, June 16 at 9PM Pacific Time. International players should note these equivalent local times:
- Wednesday, June 16
- 9:00 PM PT
- 11:00 PM CT
- Thursday, June 17
- 12:00 AM ET
- 5:00 AM BST (UK)
- 6:00 AM CEST (Europe)
- 2:00 PM AEST (Australia)
Pro Tip: Servers typically experience heavy load during the first 2-3 hours post-update. Consider waiting until off-peak times if you encounter connection issues.
Black Ops Cold War Update Details
Black Ops Cold War adopts a staggered approach, with the Season 4 update becoming available for download 24 hours before Warzone’s launch. This gives players time to prepare:
- Tuesday, June 15
- 9:00 PM PT
- 11:00 PM CT
- Wednesday, June 16
- 12:00 AM ET
- 5:00 AM BST (UK)

- 2:00 PM AEST (Australia)
Important: While the update downloads early, Season 4 content remains locked until Warzone’s simultaneous launch on June 16 at 9PM PT.
Update File Sizes by Platform
Storage requirements vary significantly across platforms. Here’s what to expect:
- PlayStation 4: 15.5 GB
- Xbox Series X / Xbox Series S: 31.0 GB
- PC: 21.6 GB (without HD Pack) / 30.7 GB (with HD Pack)
PC players should allocate 60.6GB-92.1GB temporary space during installation. This extra capacity is automatically freed post-installation.
