Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Offering Free Blackout Mode

Call of Duty Black Ops 4 has been a huge hit for the folks at Treyarch and Activision. Instead of going all out with a campaign this year, COD took a different direction and instead gave us their take on the Battle Royale genre.

Blackout is a huge, huge success. It manages to take the Call of Duty formula and smash it together with Battle Royale and it works perfectly. It may not be the number one Battle Royale game in the world, but it certainly has taken a little bit of the spotlight away from Fortnite.

Well, the clever people at Activision are stepping things up. From the 17^th of January. They are offering people on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One the chance to play Blackout mode for free. Not just for a day or a long weekend, but a whole week!

This is really cool for those who have not yet tried out Call of Duty Black Ops 4. Also for those who are into the mode, it means you are going to have a ton more players to play with so, in theory, getting a game should be even faster.

What makes this such a smart move for Activision is that a huge reason as to why Fortnite is king is because it is free. By offering players the chance to play Blackout mode for a whole week. That is more than enough time for new players to not only see how good the mode is but also get hooked and invested in the mode. So much so that they may be more likely to actually purchase the game!
