Call of Duty players are currently experiencing widespread matchmaking issues following an update deployment on January 13, 2025. Both Black Ops 6 and Warzone players are unable to connect to matches, with the game stuck on "searching for players" indefinitely.

Activision has acknowledged the problem, stating that players may experience longer than usual matchmaking times during the update rollout. No patch notes have been released for this update yet.

This issue compounds existing problems that have plagued the game for several weeks, including:

• Widespread hacker presence
• Persistent connection issues
• Limited new content outside of the Squid Game collaboration
• Ongoing concerns since developers' holiday break

The game's only other 2025 update added XP adjustments to the Squid Game LTM Red Light, Green Light mode and addressed a Zombies-related issue. With player faith at a critical low, the upcoming Season Two launch in late January will be crucial for rebuilding community trust.

Players are increasingly turning to alternative titles like Marvel Rivals while waiting for these issues to be resolved. The timing is particularly unfortunate as it follows several weeks of technical difficulties that remained unaddressed during the holiday period.
