Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was officially revealed following the Xbox Games Showcase, and now a new blog post from Activision confirms players will need continuous internet connection in order to play the game.

Activision says that an internet connection is required to play all modes in Black Ops 6, including the campaign, due to the game's new texture-streaming technology. The statement from the publisher says this requirement is necessary because Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will use texture streaming across all game modes, allowing the developer to "deliver the highest-quality visuals while also reducing the game's overall storage space on your hard drive."

While this can be a bummer for some players just looking to enjoy the story experience offline, Activision says the campaign can still be played on console without a premium subscription service such as Game Pass Core or PlayStation Plus.
