Free Acess Week Dates
Black Ops Cold War is going free for the next week in an effort to introduce a new batch of players to the wonders of Treyarch's new shooter.
On top of the fact that Season Two is launching, the main selling point of this Free Access Week is the new Zombies mode: Outbreak.
After discovering the largest Dark Aether outbreak zone yet in Russia, Requiem is in need of elite Operators to aid in their quest to understand the true power of the Dark Aether dimension.

Apocalypse 24/7 will showcase the new Laos-based map coming to Black Ops Cold War Season Two.
Gun Game is also being added and will be available during the Free Access Week.
Both Gunfight Blueprints and Face-Off will be available and offer up smaller-scale fights to showcase the separate batch of maps Treyarch have designed for the mode.
Then, popular modes Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Nuketown 24/7 will be rounded out by access to Fireteam: Dirty Bomb for the week.
It's almost the entire playlist selection, with only a few noticeable gaps. For example, Free For All and Search and Destroy will not be free to play for the week.
Onslaught PlayStation Exclusive Mode
PlayStation's exclusive Onslaught mode is also being included in the Black Ops Cold War Free Access Week and offers an interesting new way to take on the undead hordes Treyarch is known for.
Set on Black Ops Cold War’s Multiplayer maps, including the new Apocalypse map introduced in Season Two, Onslaught will test you and your partner with increasingly difficult surges of enemies needed to charge a powerful Dark Aether Orb.
Every two "rounds", Elite zombies from both Firebase Z and Die Maschine will spawn and force you to think fast and kill faster.
This is a fast-paced Zombies experience that forces you into tight spots throughout. Completing objectives in this mode also awards exclusive Weapon Blueprints.
Outbreak Included
This is what we've all been waiting for.
The Black Ops Cold War Free Access Week will include the brand new, large-scale Zombies experience: Outbreak.
