I do not know if a black hole is something we should feed. Ostensibly they are things (anti-things? I'm not a black holeologist) that I would like to be far away from, given what I've heard. And yet here I am, having tinkered around with the demo for A Game About Feeding A Black Hole, which is a game about feeding a black hole, left with the feeling that this is not only a thing I can do, but find tranquility in.

BO7 multiplayer fighters

Call of Duty grinders, the wait for competitive play is just a bit longer, but it's well on the way.

Ranked Play in Black Ops 7 is not available at launch, but it's coming before you know it. When it arrives, multiplayer gamers will have all sorts of ranks and rewards to earn as they level up and climb the competitive ladder.

Here's everything we know about Ranked Play in BO7, including when to expect it.

When is BO7 Ranked Play coming out?

According to Treyarch and Activision, Ranked Play will be available as part of season two of BO7. The start date for season two is not official yet, but according to the season one battle pass's in-game countdown timer, it should be on Feb. 5, 2026.

CoD seasons last about two months long, and season one began on Dec. 4, 2025. While Feb. 5 is not set in stone, it's a likely date alongside Feb. 12 or even Feb. 19 depending on if it gets delayed or not (which is, unfortunately, always a possibility). When this season is live, Ranked Play will be live along with it.

Season two will also bring everything that CoD players expect from seasonal drops, like new weapons, new maps, new Zombies experiences, new Warzone modes, and even updates for the PvE Endgame activity. But Ranked Play is where the hardcore players will be looking to flex.

More about Ranked Play will be revealed in January 2026, but for now, players can expect more of the same when it comes to Ranked that was seen in previous titles like Black Ops 6 and Modern Warfare III, including:

  • Multiple ranks and skill divisions to grind through
  • Call of Duty League-inspired ruleset, modes, and maps
  • Exclusive rewards like camos and player cards every season
  • Plus more

Stay tuned for more official info from Activision some time after the holiday season on when to expect season two of BO7 and everything that will be included within it.

Steam coffee break

The Steam Winter Sale 2025 is coming soon to spice up the festive period if you game on PC, and there will be plenty of fantastic offers.

The Steam Winter Sale 2025 will be the last major sale to take place in this calendar year. You can expect to find deals for older titles and games that have been released earlier this year. This guide will help you stay on track with the upcoming sale so that you can open your wallets the instant it goes live.

Steam Winter Sale 2025 release countdown

The Steam Winter Sale 2025 will go live on Dec. 18 (Dec. 19 in some regions) worldwide. The dates have been known from the very beginning of the year, when Steam announced the launch date for all the sales planned for 2025. The following countdown will expire once the Winter Sale goes live this year.


[hurrytimer id="1155833"][hurrytimer id="1155833"]

The countdown is based on the following timings.

  • 10am PT
  • 12pm CT
  • 1pm ET
  • 6pm UTC
  • 7pm CET

The countdown is based on the time shown on SteamDB. It's also the usual schedule that Steam follows for all its major sales. The Steam Winter Sale 2025 will go live worldwide at the same time, so expect to see some downtime. The sale can also take a few extra minutes to load the offers for you in your region.

What to expect from the Steam Winter Sale 2025

The Steam Winter Sale 2025 is expected to overlap with the Christmas and New Year holidays, and you can expect to find some massive deals. Since this is the last major sale event of the year, it will have the highest chances of games released in 2025 to get a discount.

The discounts typically tend to be higher for slightly older games, but there are always some fantastic deals to enjoy. The deals will be showcased across different genres and price ranges to make it easier for you to find something that interests you and also fits into your budget. We will have a list of the best deals for you once the sale goes live on the aforementioned date and time.
