Black Ops 6 Beta Dates Confirmed

Black Ops 6 Beta Dates Confirmed

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's beta dates have been officially confirmed. This marks the first time the beta will be available on all platforms simultaneously.

Revealed during the Call of Duty podcast on YouTube, the beta will be available on the following dates:

• Early Access: August 30 - September 4
• Open Beta: September 6 - September 9

In previous years, Call of Duty betas were exclusive to PlayStation platforms. However, this year, early access to the beta will be available to Game Pass subscribers and those who pre-order Black Ops 6. The open beta will be accessible to all players.

First revealed in May, Black Ops 6 is the latest installment in the long-running series developed by Treyarch. Activision has provided extensive details about the game's multiplayer, Zombies mode, and campaign, which is set in the 1990s. Players will navigate a world filled with paranoia, never sure who to trust or what is real.

Black Ops 6 has been a major topic following last week's Game Pass price increases. The game will be available on Game Pass at release, included in the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Game Pass for Console.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is scheduled to release on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on October 25.
