The best way to prepare for the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is through an open beta. The game is poised for success thanks to an already proven multiplayer mode, a fantastic selection of maps, and the all-new Omnimovement system, never seen in Black Ops games.
In this guide, we will provide details on how to gain access to the Black Ops 6 beta, including early access through pre-orders and the open-beta dates.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Early Access Beta Details
The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta will offer two ways for players to jump into the action. One is the pre-order early access beta and the second one is the open beta. Here is a detailed breakdown of each option to secure your spot in the beta test, with leaked dates included. While Treyarch has confirmed Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta options, it still hasn’t confirmed the dates, so take the following info with the grain of salt:
Pre-Order:
Pre-ordering any edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 guarantees early access to the open beta. The eligible editions include the Vault Edition, digital edition, physical edition, digital Cross-Gen Bundle, and physical Cross-Gen Bundle.
Additionally, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass PC, and Game Pass Console subscribers will automatically receive access.
Upon pre-ordering, you will receive a beta redemption code close to the beta launch. This code can vary depending on your retailer (digital orders typically receive codes automatically). According to official Activision information, the early access beta will start on August 30 and last until September 3.
How to Activate the Code: Head over to the Call of Duty beta redemption website: https://www.callofduty.com/beta. Log in to your preferred Call of Duty account associated with the platform you intend to play on (PlayStation, Xbox, or PC). Locate the redemption code entry field and enter the code you received. Once redeemed, your account will be flagged for beta access.
Download and Play: After the beta goes live, you will be able to download the beta client through your chosen platform’s online store (PlayStation Store, Xbox Store, Battle.net). Once downloaded, launch the beta client and sign in with your Call of Duty account to start playing.
Open Beta:
The open beta is your chance to experience Black Ops 6’s multiplayer for free before launch, regardless of pre-ordering.
The open beta for all players will run from September 6 to September 9. This is the first time the Black Ops game will be available for all platforms at the same time.
The pre-launch game will offer just a glimpse into the full experience, revealing a variety of weapons, maps, and game modes, including Mastercraft weapons, such as the LR 7.62 and Jackal PDW, and the new Omnimovement system.
