Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is out, but some players are facing frustrating connection issues. A common problem prevents players from joining friends' games, displaying the error "Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version." Here's how to resolve this.
This error usually indicates an outdated game version. The first step is to return to the main menu and check for updates. However, many players report this doesn't always solve the problem.
If the error persists, restarting the game is the next logical step. This forces a fresh update check. While it means a short delay, it's a simple fix worth trying.

Should the issue remain after these steps, try searching for a match. In some cases, initiating a match search allows other players to join your party, even if the error initially appeared. This might require a few attempts, but it's a potential workaround.
That's how to address the "Join Failed Because You Are on a Different Version" error in Black Ops 6.
