To access the Black Ops 6 beta, you first need to find it by searching on the PlayStation Store, theMicrosoftStore, Battle.net, or Steam. If you pre-orderedCall of Duty: Black Ops 6digitally then you should have already been able to automatically download the Early Access beta through those platform storefronts, or if you pre-ordered a physical copy then you’ll have been sent separate instructions for how to access the beta with a redemption code.If you’re a Game Pass subscriber then you could also play the Black Ops 6 Early Access beta, though Game Pass Console subscribers may also need Game Pass Core to use multiplayer features.

The same process is used to access the Black Ops 6 Open beta, and if you get it installed now then you’ll be ready to go as soon as it’s live. If you already played in the Early Access beta then the same client will be used again, so you don’t need to download anything new except any updates that get pushed out.

Black Ops 6 beta start date and times

As always, there are two tiers of access when it comes to the Black Ops 6 beta, depending on whether you’ve paid up front for the full game or not. For everyone who pre-ordered (and Game Pass subscribers), theBlack Ops 6 Early Access beta began on Friday August 30 and ran until Wednesday September 4, which gave five whole days to get an early taste of what’s to come. For everyone else, this has now been followed up by theBlack Ops 6 Open beta that started on Friday September 6 and ends on Monday September 9, providing a further three days for the wider player base to explore.
