The latest 1.08 update from "Call of Duty: Black Ops 3" has arrived, and it also comes with a 59.8.13.7.0 hotfix which enables players to change the playlist. For fans of Black Ops 3, the 59.8.13.7.0 hotfix puts the Chaos Moshpit playlist in, replacing and removing the Nuk3town playlist.

In a report by Gottabemobile, the March Black Ops 3 1.08 update is huge, given its size of 10.791 GB on PS4.
