  1. Open Black Ops 6 and head to your profile.
  2. Open the last tab (on the right) and click on the drop-down menu.
  3. Change the current status to "Appear Offline".

It is important to note that your friends will not be able to see you when you appear offline. A change in player status is a small yet significant option that helps players to disappear as if they aren't connected to the game servers.

It should be noted that players still need to stay online as the game requires a stable internet connection to work. However, appearing offline will let users avoid receiving any unnecessary invites or join requests when going solo.
