Bullets will fly in Call of Duty again, and to get a sneak peek at what to expect for the full release of the latest title, a Black Ops 6 beta beckons for early testing.
Another year, another Call of Duty. Four years after Black Ops Cold War, Treyarch is back again with Black Ops 6. Promising political power struggles and the return of round-based zombies, the latest entry in the Black Ops series should be huge.
If all this wasn’t enough, you can play Black Ops 6 early courtesy of a closed and open beta, and we have all the details you’re after below.
How to play Black Ops 6 beta

To confirm that you will take part in the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 early access beta, you need to “pre-order any digital edition or subscribe to select Game Pass plans.”
The words are not ours, but they belong to the official Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Xbox store page, which details everything you need to know about the FPS title’s editions, what’s included—and how to be a beta participant.
The other option for gaining access to the BO6 beta is to earn a code as a random viewership drop during the Call of Duty League’s Championship Sunday on July 21. Once players link their YouTube account to their Activision account, they can earn up to three entries to be selected for one of 50,000 beta codes given away at random.
The early access beta begins on Aug. 30, and the open beta begins on Sept. 6, so if you don’t get early access you can wait until the following week to play the beta when it is available for free for everyone.
If you are to pre-order, it doesn’t matter which edition you opt for, as long as you pre-order and show you’re keen, you can guarantee yourself access to the open beta. We know Black Ops 6 is a first for the franchise as it is included with Game Pass from day one.
Given the Microsoft and Activision merger, this should come as no surprise and could well be a business decision made with each subsequent Call of Duty game.
