BLAST Pro Series Global Final 2019 Day 3 Results and Winner [With Videos!]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare recently rolled out their Season One battle pass update. This update was the largest free update in the history of Call of Duty. It was the first step in Activision’s new format when it comes to content updates for Call of Duty as they are no longer charging players for new content like maps or weapons. Since the first update, players have been able to dive into one of the most classic maps in the game’s long history. They’ve also been trying out the new weapons featured in this update. At a staggering 10 GB for PS4 users, be sure to have ample storage ahead of this update!

Showcased in a YouTube video posted yesterday, which is called the Season One Refresh, this latest update has just gone live across all platforms. The update provides some new and unique content ahead of the holiday season. We know for sure that we’re getting some new maps and the return of a beloved game mode.
