Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War UPDATE 1.05 patch notes and double XP event LIVE

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War fans can download a big new update, just a couple of days after launch.

Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War update 1.05 is starting to roll out on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.

The update lays the foundation for the game’s first double XP event, which runs for just 24-hours.

Running from 6pm UK time on November 15 until 6pm GMT on November 16, fans can earn double the experience in multiplayer modes.

This should give players a headstart on levelling up and earning all of the best unlockables.

According to one fan, the loading times are said to be faster with the latest update installed.

The game is a direct sequel to the original Black Ops, only this time set in the early 1980s.
