When Will Fracture Game Mode Be Available?

The Fracture game mode Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 users have been waiting for will be available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC starting on July 15. You will be able to access this new game mode from the bonus playlist.

The new Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Descent is not set to unlock until 9 p.m. PT/12 a.m. ET tonight. PS4 users in North America, however, do have the option of pre-loading the game. Pre-loading the game will make the game ready to be played when it unlocks tonight. It has been revealed that the download to pre-load the game to the system is 7.5 GB in size. UK PS4 and Xbox One Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 players are not able to download the pre-load of the game, even if they are a Season Pass holder. UK Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 players will have to wait until the new DLC is released to gain access to it.

If you hold a Black Ops 3 Season Pass, you will be able to download this new DLC for free once it has been released. If you are not a holder of the season pass, you will have to pay $15 to download the new DLC once it has been released.

If you have the opportunity to do so, pre-downloading the game before the release is going to make it easier for you to access the DLC and start playing. If you don’t pre-download the game, you will be with the rest of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 players waiting for the DLC (which is nearly 8 GB in size) to finish download before you can start playing.
