Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Multiplayer Issues: Fixing the "Join Failed" Error

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has arrived, but some players are encountering frustrating connection problems. A common error message, "Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version," prevents players from joining friends' games. Here's how to troubleshoot this issue:

The error indicates a version mismatch; your game isn't updated. While returning to the main menu and allowing an update should resolve this, many players report the error persists.

The next step is restarting the game. This forces a fresh update check. While this means a short delay, it's a worthwhile attempt. Ask your friends to wait briefly.

If the problem persists after restarting, try searching for a match. In some cases, initiating a match search allows friends to join a party, even if the error initially appears. This might require a few attempts.

This workaround might not be perfect, but it's a better alternative than abandoning the gaming session.

That's how to address 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.
