Upcoming Betas And Availability

It’s worth noting that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 features both a closed and open beta leading up to the official launch.

The “early access” beta, exclusive to those who pre-ordered the game or are subscribed to Game Pass, kicks off at 6 PM BST/10 AM PT on August 30th and will run through September 4th.

In an unusual move for the series, there is no platform exclusivity for this beta phase, meaning players across all supported platforms can participate.

For those who haven’t pre-ordered, the open beta begins at 6 PM BST/10 AM PT on September 6th and concludes on September 9th.
