Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 features a triumphant return to real-world historical conflicts, taking players back to the 90s at the height of the Gulf War. The game will have a Campaign featuring spy thriller elements, an expansive Multiplayer mode, and the much-anticipated return of round-based Zombies. Though Black Ops 6 will not make its debut until October 25, players will be able to experience a portion of what the game has to offer even earlier.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will follow the trend of past games in the franchise and feature its own Beta. While many fans have been speculating on when and how they will be able to gain access to the Black Ops 6 Beta, Activision has finally announced how fans can try out the game's Multiplayer early. Here is how players can get into the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Beta!

Here is a breakdown of when players can expect to dive into each Beta weekend, along with how to access each one:

  • Early Access Beta: The Early Access Beta for Black Ops 6 will commence Friday, August 30 at 10 AM PT and will end Wednesday, September 4 at 10 AM PT. Only those who have pre-ordered Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 can participate in the Early Access Beta, along with Xbox Game Pass subscribers.
