New Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 demands constant internet connection

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has announced several technical details including a mandatory internet connection even for single-player campaigns. Activision explains that this requirement is due to 'texture streaming,' which aims to deliver high-quality visuals while keeping the installation size down. Despite this effort, the game still requires a hefty 309.85 GB of free storage space. The game's setting during the first Gulf War was confirmed through the first gameplay trailer released at the Xbox Games Showcase, along with its launch date.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 requires a permanent internet connection because it utilizes 'texture streaming' technology. This method streams a portion of the game's textures from the internet rather than storing them all locally. Activision states this approach helps achieve better visuals and reduces the overall installation size.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set during the first Gulf War, an era filled with significant military conflicts and operations. The game continues the legacy of the Black Ops series, known for its intense campaigns and multiplayer experiences. With the texture streaming approach, the game aims to offer next-level graphics, making it a highly anticipated release in the Call of Duty franchise.
