Call of Duty's first major update in 2025, identified as patch 1,065,000, is now available to players. Among the new features, the crossover with the Round 6 series stands out as the highlight, introducing themed modes that combine tension and strategy. The update also includes movement improvements, weapon adjustments, and the debut of a new Wildcard.

Despite the innovations, the community noted the lack of improvements to the anti-cheat system. Players expected advances to contain cheaters, especially in Black Ops 6 and Warzone. Activision has promised to address the issue in the game's second season, but the wait may frustrate dedicated fans.
Round 6-inspired modes add tension and strategy
They introduced two new game modes as part of the crossover. The first, “Red Light, Green Light”, pits players in direct competition at the Red Card stadium, recreating the challenge seen in the South Korean series. The mode challenges participants to follow commands while avoiding movement at prohibited times, with weapons only available in the final rounds.
The other highlight is “Pentathlon”, a mode that mixes variants of classic games like Kill Confirmed and Domination with new additions. Among them is “Piggy Bank Team Deathmatch”, in which eliminations contribute to a grand prize played between teams, and “Roulette”, which combines risk and reward with a high-impact weapon that can be lethal to the player himself.
On the other hand, the Round 6 Moshpit brings together elements from both modes, such as the “Red Light, Green Light” scorestreak, which paralyzes enemies, and the Roulette Handgun pistol, a high-risk weapon.
New features expand possibilities in Multiplayer and Zombies
In addition to the crossover, the update brought important changes. Among them, the new Wildcard High Roller, which allows you to equip up to four simultaneous scorestreaks. Climbing speed has been increased, and players can now open or close doors while running, improving the fluidity of combat.
The Zombies mode also gained new features, with the Citadelle des Morts map receiving adjustments to the progression of the main mission and the efficiency of special weapons. Inspired by the crossover, the “Dead Light, Green Light” mode adds bonus essence when eliminating zombies at specific times.
Community reacts to the lack of anti-cheat improvements
Despite the additions, the lack of updates to the anti-cheat system generated criticism. However, Activision faces pressure to deal with the rise of cheaters, who harm both casual players and professional competitors. With the promise of solutions in Season 2, it remains to be seen whether the measures will meet expectations. The update, with 2,699 GB on PS5, brings significant advances, but leaves outstanding challenges.
