Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is experiencing a frustrating "Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version" error, preventing players from connecting with friends. Here's how to resolve this issue.
Troubleshooting the Black Ops 6 Version Mismatch Error
The error indicates your game isn't fully updated. While returning to the main menu and initiating an update should fix it, many players report this doesn't always work.
The next step is a simple game restart. This forces a fresh update check, though it means a short delay rejoining your friends.

If the problem persists after restarting, try searching for a match. In some cases, initiating a match search allows friends to join despite the error message. This might require a few attempts before successfully joining a lobby.
This workaround should help you overcome the version mismatch error in Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
