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' games. Here's how to resolve this issue.
Troubleshooting the Black Ops 6 Version Mismatch Error
The error message indicates a version mismatch; your game isn't updated. While returning to the main menu and allowing an update should fix it, many players report this isn't always sufficient.
The next step is a simple game restart. This forces a check for updates and should resolve the problem. While it means a short delay, it's a quick fix compared to missing out on gameplay.

If restarting doesn't work, try joining a match directly. In some cases, initiating a match search allows friends to join, even if the initial attempt failed. This might require a few tries, but it offers a workaround.
That's how to tackle the Black Ops 6 "Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version" error.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
