I’ve been immersed in *Call of Duty* long enough to recall a time when the most significant preorder bonus was merely a poster from GameStop. The situation has drastically evolved since then.

With *Call of Duty: Black Ops 7* scheduled for release on Nov. 14, 2025, across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, and launching on Game Pass from day one, deciding which edition to acquire is its own tactical endeavor. Here’s a summary of the Standard and Vault editions, preorder bonuses, gameplay specifics, and what makes this *Black Ops* stand out from its predecessors.

## Standard Edition and Cross-Gen Bundle preorders

The Standard Edition serves as your entryway into *Black Ops 7*, yet it offers a wealth of content. On consoles, it is packaged as a Cross-Gen Bundle, ensuring one purchase is compatible with both PS4 and PS5 or Xbox One and Series X|S. On PC, it’s available for digital download via Battle.net, Steam, or Xbox PC. Preordering the Standard Edition guarantees you the complete game upon launch on Nov. 14, early access to the Open Beta from Oct. 2-5 if you preorder or have Game Pass, and admission to the public beta starting Oct. 5.

You can find physical editions listed below, with Walmart currently providing the lowest price at $69. That’s $0.99 less, for those tracking:

– *Call of Duty: Black Ops 7* for PlayStation 4/5 Cross-Gen Bundle — **$69.99** (Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target)
– *Call of Duty: Black Ops 7* for PlayStation 5 — **$69.99** (Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target)
– *Call of Duty: Black Ops 7* for Xbox Cross-Gen Bundle — **$69.99** (Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target)

Digital preorders also provide the Reznov Challenge Pack, which promptly unlocks the Reznov SOG Operator Skin in *Black Ops 6* and *Warzone*, allowing you to progress towards unlocking the Reznov Stalingrad and Reznov Memory skins. The Standard Edition is priced at $69.99, regardless of whether you select digital or physical. Physical copies come with some unique features worth mentioning. The Xbox disc is playable on both Series X and One. The PS5 disc is exclusively for PS5. The PS4 disc includes a PS5 digital code, yet the disc must still be used to access the PS5 version.

## Vault Edition preorders

The Vault Edition represents the comprehensive digital choice. It encompasses everything in the Standard Edition along with a substantial array of extras that will be beneficial if you engage with *Call of Duty* throughout the year. This features the Operator Collection with four exclusive skins, the Mastercraft Weapon Collection with animated blueprints across weapon classes, and one season of the BlackCell Battle Pass, which offers COD Points, tier skips, and exclusive content.

– *Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Vault Edition* for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows — **$99.99**

Additionally, you benefit from the Ultra GobbleGum Pack for Zombies, along with a Permanent Unlock Token to bypass progression on one item of your choosing from day one. The Vault Edition is priced at $99.99 and is exclusively digital. If you’ve already preordered the Standard edition digitally, you can upgrade for $30 through your platform’s store or in-game. Game Pass subscribers also have the option to purchase the Vault upgrade while retaining the base game via their subscription.

## Preorder bonuses and Game Pass

Each preorder, whether digital, physical, or through Game Pass, provides early beta access beginning Oct. 2 and full open beta access from Oct. 5-8. Digital preorders and Game Pass users also get the Reznov Challenge Pack, which can be utilized in *Black Ops 6* and *Warzone* right away, with all skins available in *Black Ops 7* upon launch.

If you’re eager to play *Black Ops 7* on its release day via Game Pass, you’ll require an Ultimate Membership. There are various options available, including an Amazon Firestick and controller bundle that incorporates Game Pass Ultimate. Here are some choices to prepare you for *Black Ops 7*:
