The Black Ops 6 beta is set to offer players a chance to experience the latest in the Call of Duty franchise with exciting new features. This installment introduces the Omnimovement system for enhanced fluidity on the battlefield and a single-player Training Course designed to refine players’ skills.
Notably, unlike previous betas that were restricted to specific platforms, this beta will be available simultaneously on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, including PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Additionally, Game Pass subscribers on Xbox and PC will get automatic access to the Early Access beta without needing to pre-order the game.
To participate in the Black Ops 6 beta, players should search for the beta on the PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Battle.net, or Steam. Those who pre-ordered the game digitally can download the Early Access beta immediately through these platforms.
For those who pre-ordered physical copies, instructions, and a redemption code will have been provided. Game Pass subscribers are also eligible for Early Access, although Xbox Game Pass Console subscribers may need Game Pass Core for multiplayer features.
The Black Ops 6 beta is divided into two phases: Early Access and Open beta. The Early Access beta, available to pre-orderers and Game Pass subscribers, starts on August 30 at 10 AM PDT and ends on September 4 at 10 AM PDT. This phase provides a five-day window for early players to engage with the game before the Open beta begins.
The Open beta will be available to the broader public starting on September 6 at 10 AM PDT and concluding on September 9 at 10 AM PDT. This three-day period will allow players who did not pre-order or are not Game Pass subscribers to experience the game and provide feedback before its official release.
Access times for both phases of the beta are set but could be impacted by server issues or other technical problems. It is advisable for players to be aware of these potential disruptions and to check the relevant platforms for the most accurate and updated information on beta availability.
