As a seasoned gamer with over two decades under my belt, I can’t help but shake my head at the predicament Adin Ross finds himself in. Spending thousands of dollars on an early copy of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, only to find out it’s as useful as a rubber spoon in a soup kitchen, is a lesson we all wish we didn’t have to learn.


Adin Ross admits he shelled out as much as $5,000 for a pre-release version of Call of Duty: Black Ops VI, but he won’t be able to advance beyond the main office of Call of Duty. This highly anticipated game is due out on October 25, and those lucky enough to obtain an early copy will find little progress beyond the headquarters.

Back in Summer Game Fest 2024, they unveiled Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and since then, we’ve been getting juicy tidbits about it. For instance, they showcased two Zombies maps, a revamped Nuketown, Mastery Camos, the Prestige system, and more. Treyarch even had a beta testing phase in September, giving us gamers an early sneak peek before its official launch. During this beta period, we got to test out the new weapons arsenal and roam around the multiplayer maps. Some of us also encountered a few cheaters who found ways to bypass the anti-cheat system. Since then, we’ve been on pins and needles waiting for the full game, but it looks like Adin Ross hit a snag with an early copy of the game.

The Dextero Twitter posted a video from Adin Ross’ Kick livestream where he talks about an early edition of Black Ops 6 he purchased for PS5. In the video, Adin Ross shows his followers the game and advises against buying it early this year since it would only load Call of Duty HQ instead of Black Ops 6 menus. Although Adin Ross was able to access the game modes, few people are expected to play before its official release. In the clip, Adin Ross promises to stream Black Ops 6 once the servers become operational.

Adin Ross Spent Thousands on Black Ops 6 for PS5

Adin Ross alleges that he purchased an early version of Black Ops 6 for somewhere between $4,000 and $5,000, but it’s uncertain how or from whom he obtained this copy. Although Ross believes he was scammed, the seller might not have realized that the PS5 game was faulty. It seems possible that the disc allowed Adin Ross to download the game prematurely, but there may have been a day one patch available on the official release date. Since players can pre-order or subscribe digitally to legally obtain the game ahead of time or through Xbox Game Pass, getting an early copy doesn’t carry much weight in terms of significance.

It appears that Treyarch has removed the multiplayer feature for Black Ops 6, which was playable during the beta, with a recent update. Given that Treyarch plans to continue updating Black Ops 6, it’s expected that new content will be introduced after its release, similar to what we’ve seen in more recent Call of Duty games.
