The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 black screen bug is plaguing the game on all platforms, and players are desperate for a fix. Unlike a typical crash, the black screen glitch doesn’t completely close the game. Instead, the match continues playing, and you can hear audio, but all video is gone. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like there’s one particular cause for this issue, but we’ve gathered some potential fixes for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S below.
Potential Black Ops 6 black screen fixes
Since players report the Black Ops 6 black screen bug on all platforms, it’s hard to track down what’s causing it. It’s tough to find a fix that’ll work for everyone without knowing the root source of the issues. We have found that restarting the game solves the problem entirely, but only for a short time. Those affected by the black screen glitch report that it continues to happen repeatedly.
We’ve gathered a list of potential fixes for the Black Ops 6 black screen below:
All Platforms:
- Restart the game.
- Make sure you’re not in Create a Class as the match is loading.
- Some users report going to Settings -> Account & Network Settings -> Import Settings fixed this issue.
PC:
- Turn off ECO Mode in settings.
- Exit the game and check your memory and VRAM usage. If it’s high, a separate instance of the game might still be running. Enter Task Manager and make sure this isn’t the case.
- Update your graphics drivers. If the problem persists, try performing a clean driver reinstall with DDU.
Xbox:
- Turn off Quick Resume and restart the game.
- Delete the local version of the game and play via Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Note that some players have stated that updates have alternatively solved and caused the black screen bug. If the above tips don’t help alleviate the issue, you’ll likely have to wait for a patch to play again.
