Everyone loves a good beta, especially Call of Duty players, which is a good thing because there’s a new one every single year.
Black Ops 6 is a return to form for Treyarch and the CoD franchise, with a harrowing campaign set in the early 1990s, the return of round-based Zombies, and a new focus on movement with the “omnimovement” abilities in multiplayer.
The BO6 beta will run in two different periods: a closed beta period for those who pre-order the game and an open beta for all players to try. And for the first time in a long time, the beta will be open to all platforms at the same time with no exclusivity period to speak of.
Here’s everything we know so far about when you can get your hands on the Black Ops 6 beta.
When is the Black Ops 6 beta?
The CoD beta is a yearly event, giving players a chance to try out the next game early to determine whether or not they’ll purchase it. The Black Ops 6 beta is next on deck, and it’s coming before the leaves start to change and the full game releases on Oct. 25.
When does the Black Ops 6 open beta come back?
Now that the early access period for the open beta is over, it’s time for all gamers to try their hand at BO6 without a code necessary. The beta will be available on all platforms at the same time once it begins again, and it’s not a long wait from now before it’s time to play again before the beta goes away before launch for good.
BO6 open beta release time
The Black Ops 6 open beta runs from Sept. 6 to 9, and will be available for free for all players on all platforms (PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC). Make sure to clear your schedules and plan time off accordingly so you can grind the game and get a head start on the meta before launch.
