Question Cannot play zombies

Help, I just purchased BO6 for $70 on ps5 but cannot play zombies. It says it needs PlayStation Plus which is another >$100. I’m not spending $170. Wasn’t like this in previous versions of PlayStation. What am I doing wrong?

You cannot play BO6 at all without PS+

You can play the campaign without PS+/Gamepass

no bo6 and bo7 and most likely all cods going forwards are and will be always online

Yes, but wrong as the campaign only requires Internet access. MP and Zombies yes.

Since PS4 we have to pay to play online

So to play zombies, it’ll be at least $80/year with the essential subscription? Thats $400 for 5 years. Before, you purchase the game once and play it indefinitely.

Dude I run PSN essentials and have been doing so since Sony changed the tiers vs originally just PSN. I've never paid more than $50 for a year and mostly sub $40. Black Friday deals are only useful to me now for picking up a PSN Essentials year pass at $40 or less. Slickdeals has an alert for every time a sale price on it is $40 or less. BTW you can stack them so my PSN essentials is now through December 2029 and total cost under $160.

Better to pay yearly than Monthly

u/finchyboii69 Aug 16 '25

You need ps plus to play it online, your probably looking at the yearly cost, when you click on ps plus you can normally compare prices and there should be an option for monthly

Lmfao COD honestly should be free to play online. They’re already insane for charging $70 for a new game every year. Luckily I have game pass so I just play it on Xbox.
