Black Ops 6 is here and along with it a brand new single-player Campaign full of gruff, weathered soldiers spouting stodgy one-liners and more twists and turns than a bowl of overcooked fusilli. In keeping with CoD tradition, it’s a fairly snappy experience that shouldn’t take most players long to complete. It’s a drop in the ocean compared to how much time you’ll likely spend in the Zombies, Multiplayer, and Warzone modes. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how long it will take you to beat the Campaign.
How long to beat the Black Ops 6 Campaign
The Black Ops Campaign will take most players roughly 6 to 8 hours before they see the credits roll. It’s made up of 11 individual missions that are each about 30 to 45 minutes long, though their length does vary with some being shorter than others. Experienced players should storm through the story in around 6 hours while first-timers may take up to 8 hours. Unless you play through the Campaign at an intentionally slow pace, it’s highly unlikely you’ll exceed that amount of time. If you’re looking to finish everything that the Campaign has to offer, including Challenges, then you’re looking at 12 to 15 hours of investment.
As always with the latest Call of Duty campaign, difficulty settings will also factor into total playtime. Bump up the difficulty level and enemies will be more challenging, requiring a more time-consuming, tactical approach. Slide the challenge down to its absolute lowest and you’re basically on easy mode. You can run and gun your way through every one of the missions, not having to worry all that much about getting pummelled by hot lead.

Another factor that might affect play time is if you’re gunning for the trophies and achievements. There are few that unlock automatically as you progress the story, but a few require specific actions, which might contribute to a slightly longer playthrough. Again, 8 hours is the absolute maximum time we expect most players to spend on the Campaign even including some light trophy hunting.
