Activision has confirmed a limited-time reward event for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, granting players 10 hours of free Double XP simply for playing the game before the arrival of Season 1. With launch just days away, this early incentive is meant to give newcomers a strong start in both standard progression and weapon leveling.
How to Earn the Free Double XP Tokens
Players who launch Black Ops 7 before Season 1 begins will automatically receive:
- 5 hours of Double XP
- 5 hours of Double Weapon XP
Activision has not yet revealed the official start date for Season 1. Community speculation places it in early December, which would leave roughly three weeks for players to log in and automatically secure the full 10 hours of bonuses. No additional challenges or requirements are tied to this offer—simply play before the first major update goes live.
Additional Rewards Through Monster Energy Promotion
For those looking to boost their XP even further, Activision is continuing its partnership with Monster Energy. By purchasing eligible cans and redeeming the printed codes, players can earn extra Double XP tokens along with exclusive cosmetic rewards. This promotional crossover is consistent with similar Call of Duty partnerships in recent years.
Massive File Size Expected at Launch
Players planning to jump into Black Ops 7 at release will need to prepare for a heavy installation size. According to early data from the PlayStation platform:
- Base game: Over 96 GB
- Co-Op Campaign Pack: ~15 GB
- Warzone Pack: ~19 GB
Fortunately, Black Ops 7 supports modular installation. Players can choose which content packs to install based on their preferred modes, helping reduce unnecessary storage usage.
A Simple Boost for Early Players
This pre-Season 1 Double XP event is one of the simplest progression bonuses the franchise has offered, requiring no objectives, challenges, or external purchases. For those planning to start strong on day one, the offer provides a direct boost in both player level and weapon progression.
Whether the season begins in late November or early December, players who want the full 10 hours of Double XP should ensure they launch Black Ops 7 as soon as possible after release.
