Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Multiplayer Open Beta Dates Revealed

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is launching on Xbox Series X|S and Game Pass this October, and ahead of release, Activision has now officially revealed the open beta release dates for the game.

As highlighted by The Verge’s senior editor Tom Warren, this is actually the first time ever a CoD beta will be available across all platforms at the same time. So, when can we expect to jump in? In brief, early access starts on 30th August 2024 and will run until 4th September 2024. This will then be followed by the open beta between 6th – 9th September 2024.

“Two days after Call of Duty: Next (on August 28), the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Multiplayer Open Beta begins, starting on August 30! Experience the game-changing Omnimovement and other gameplay innovations for yourself across a variety of brand-new maps built by Treyarch, as well as building your own loadouts, accessing a variety of weapons, equipment and Perks, and dropping in with your squad across a number of modes.”

Early access as noted is available to players who have pre-ordered the game across all platforms, and also Game Pass subscribers. This beta will once again go live at the same time across all platforms. This will then be followed by the second weekend beta.

Activision has also used this opportunity to show off the game’s Vault Edition, which comes with a special Operator Pack, Blackcell, Gogglegum Pack, Mastercraft Collection, Woods Operator Pack and Open Beta Early Access. You’ll also get to test this out during the Beta:

“Furthermore, players who have pre-ordered the Vault Edition should expect to play as any of the four Operators from the Hunters vs. Hunted Operator Pack (Park, Adler, Brutus, or Klaus), as well as being able to test out any of the five weapons from the Mastercraft Weapon Collection!”
