How To Fix the Black Ops 6 ‘Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version’ Error

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is experiencing a frustrating "Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version" error, preventing players from joining friends' matches. Here's how to resolve this issue:

The error indicates an outdated game version. First, try returning to the main menu and allowing the game to update. However, this doesn't always solve the problem.

Next, restart the game. This forces a check for updates and should resolve the version mismatch. While this requires a short wait, it's a better solution than missing out on gameplay.

If the error persists, a workaround involves searching for a match. This sometimes allows players to join a party, although it may require multiple attempts.

That's how to fix the "Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version" error in Black Ops 6.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are currently available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
