Black Ops 6 sparks controversy after players discover paid personalized audio profiles, but the optional feature is far from pay-to-win.

The easiest way to check server status is to visit the official Activision Support Online Services website, which provides live updates on server status for all titles in the franchise, including Black Ops 6. If any issues are reported, the website will display these updates to keep players informed about the game’s current status.

Black Ops 6 is offering players a third-party audio feature as an add-on for $20, leading to sharp criticism from players. The game comes with an Enhanced Headphone Mode that utilizes technology crafted by a company called Embody.
