Xbox's Activision team has dropped its first free trial period for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, now live on all platforms including Xbox One and Series X|S.
This first-ever free access period for this year's COD includes "a selection of Multiplayer and Zombies content including the fan-favourite 'Nuketown 2025'". Here's Xbox's full description of the trial content, along with a link to the Free Access version of BO7:
"During the Free Trial period, play select BO7 Multiplayer modes and maps including the fan-favourite 'Nuketown 2025' - remastered with stunning visuals and refined combat flow. Plus, enjoy the Zombies experience and try your hand in the thriller 'Ashes of the Damned'. And last but not least - in celebration with CODMAS, take delight in the 'Sleighjacked' MP Map decorated for the gift-giving season, or drop into Holiday Havoc, a festive moshpit combining your favourite modes with holiday cheer. Don't miss all of this and MORE!"
The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 trial lasts until Monday, December 22nd, and will likely be joined later this week by a selection of other Xbox titles as part of the Free Play Days program. Be on the lookout for those as Microsoft shares them; typically on a Thursday.
As for BO7 itself, well, you're getting access to the two best modes if you're thinking of giving this free trial a whirl - honestly, we wouldn't be too disheartened at Campaign being missing here. Multiplayer and Zombies are the meat of this year's COD, and we're curious to see what free access players make of them.
