GameGPU reports that Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 has received a new update, designated Patch 1.006, for both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles. The patch was announced on Saturday, August 1, 2026, according to the outlet.
The update applies to the original Black Ops title, which has seen renewed attention through backward compatibility on modern PlayStation hardware. GameGPU did not provide specific details on what the patch changes or fixes, leaving the scope of the update unclear at this time.
This marks the latest in a series of maintenance updates for older Call of Duty titles, which Activision has continued to support with stability patches and compatibility improvements. For players on PS4 and PS5, the patch is presumably available for download now, though no file size or installation notes were included in the report.
Given the lack of patch note specifics, players should check the in-game menu or the PlayStation system update screen for confirmation of the new version. GameGPU’s coverage suggests the update is already rolling out to users.
What to watch next: whether Activision releases official patch notes detailing the exact changes in 1.006, or if this is a minor backend fix tied to server stability.
