If you’re playing Black Ops 6 and keep getting bombarded with invites from random players, (or even your friends) who want you to jump into their squad, you are definitely not alone. Sure, playing BO6 with friends is awesome, but sometimes, you just want to focus on your own game and grind solo for a while.
In past Call of Duty games, there wasn’t a built-in option to appear offline, but Black Ops 6 finally offers it. In this guide, we’ll be looking at the built-in method to go offline in CoD: Black Ops 6, plus a few other tricks to use in case the official method doesn’t work. Read on to learn more.

The newly introduced Omnimovement feature can take your movement to the next level in Black Ops 6. Here’s a rundown on how it works.
How to Appear Offline in Black Ops 6
Thankfully, appearing offline in Black Ops 6 is quite straightforward. Players will need to follow the steps mentioned below:
- Launch the game.
- Head over to the Multiplayer or Zombie Main Menu.
- Click on Options.
- Head over to your Profile (located on the far right.)
- You will see the status option here. Set it to Appear Offline.
By completing these steps, your profile will appear offline, and even your friends won’t know that you’re in the game.
Just to quickly mention, changing your profile status to offline doesn’t mean that you don’t require a stable internet connection to play online Multiplayer or Zombies. Players will still need the internet to play these modes. This setting just makes you invisible to other players while you’re online.
Other Ways to Appear Offline in Black Ops 6
If setting your status to appear offline doesn’t work for some reason, here are a few other methods that players can try:
Steam Launcher
For BO6 fans playing through Steam, an easy way to stay hidden is to open the Friends panel and set your profile status to offline. This way, your friends won’t know that you’re active in the game.
Battle.Net Launcher
If you are playing on Battle.net, you can click on your username and change your Profile Status to offline from there.
Xbox
If you’re playing the game on Xbox, click on the ‘appear offline’ option under your profile picture. This will keep your online status hidden, so you can game in peace without those annoying invites.
For PlayStation players, the in-built option is the only method to appear offline. In most cases, that should be all you need. So just follow the aforementioned steps correctly, and you’re all set.
