Black Ops Cold War is receiving a Free Access week for its Zombies and Multiplayer modes this week. What will be included in the BOCW Free Access Week? When will the BOCW Free Access Week be available? What's the deal with this BOCW Double XP weekend? We've got all the details.
Holy hell! Another Free Access Week for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War? Another 2XP Weekend BOCW? It's almost like they're desperate for players! It's a tad unsurprising, to be honest. The latest Call of Duty has hardly been a favorite, and it's bleeding players to Warzone and other shooters. Thus, the September BOCW Free Access Week is a fantastic way for Treyarch to garner some more support, with players able to check out the game's excellent Zombies, and not-so-excellent multiplayer modes. The 2XP event? Well, who doesn't like Double-XP?
Update: We updated this article on September 3 to address multiple reports of free access not working for many players. You can find a fix below.
The BOCW Free Access Week for September is not the only thing going on in BOCW at the moment. What else should you keep your eye out for, you may ask? Well, you're in the right place...

Black Ops Cold War is hemorrhaging players. Most players only play the game to farm experience points for Warzone, and those who play it properly are very few. The game may have sold like hot cakes when it launched back in November 2020, but it is hardly making anyone's bucket list for best game, and Modern Warfare still has a more active user-base. All in all, BOCW Free Access Week's and BOCW Double-XP Events are a great way to get more people into the game, and more people experiencing what the game has to offer.
When is the BOCW Free Access Week?
The BOCW Free Access Week for Multiplayer and Zombies will be available from September 2, until September 7. That's an entire week of free Call of Duty, and if you haven't checked the game out yet, it's the perfect way to sink your teeth into the game's fantastic Zombies mode. Multiplayer might have been a bit of a dud this time around, but if you are into Zombies, then this is – in particular – a must-play! Especially since it's free...

When is the BOCW Double-XP Event?
The BOCW 2XP Event will run from September 3, until September 7. The event will be both a Double-XP event and a Double Weapon-XP event in both current Call of Duty games, and will be a fantastic way to rank up, get some sweet loot, and just have a generally great time. Anyway, it's time to dive back into BOCW Zombies... cheerio!
Update: BOCW Free Access Not Working & The Solution
Some players have reported that the Black Ops Cold War free access isn't working for them. If this is you, then don't panic - here's the solution:
- Check that you have the right base app selected. This is confusing because of the way Call of Duty is split up into apps on console but for BOCW you need a different app to the Warzone launcher, unlike Modern Warfare.
- If you've got the right app but it isn't working then unfortunately there's been an installation failure and you need to reinstall the game again.
