Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout Mode Player Count Increased to 88

3.7
It wasn’t that long ago that Treyarch and Activision confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s much anticipated battle royale mode Blackout will have a player count of 80 (contrasted with the 100 in PlayerUnknown’s BattleGrounds and Fortnite, and 64 in Battlefield 5’s Firestorm). However, that has already been changed—in a tweet, Treyarch’s David Vonderhaar Has confirmed that the player count has been upped from 80 to 88.

Why 88? Why the increase? No reason or explanation was given. We presume that Treyarch has been busy optimizing and tweaking the battle royale netcode, and that they got it to work at a satisfactory level with a 10% player increase, but it could be something else entirely, so don’t take that as gospel or anything.

Regardless, or Treyarch has to do now is repeat this feat one and a half times, and they should have as many players on the map as Fortnite and PUBG allow for. I believe in you, Treyarch!

Call of Duty: Black ops 4 launches for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 12.

I only played the beta twice and it was meh. It was slightly enjoyable but not enough for me to pay $60 just to mostly play a BR.

The map isn't greatly layed out, but any more than this and it will be aids. I think 60-65 would be perfect.

I think they'll increase this again soon probably sometime this weekend, although could be wrong.
but it's running just as good as it was before the increasement, excited to see where they take it next :)

Probably as a small test, to see how it runs with slightly more load. Hope it reaches the 100 mark and stays there.

I hope they can get too 100 before launch.

Wonder if they will increase it more when the full game launches. 100 sounds right but I could be wrong
