Treyarch and Activision today revealed when players can go hands-on with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s October 25 release date is fast approaching, which means its nearly time for players to go hands-on with the game via the traditional multiplayer beta. Right on cue, developer Treyarch today confirmed that the beta is scheduled to kick shortly after Call of Duty: Next. The August 28 event will be a full reveal of the multiplayer suite with the first beta weekend kicking off August 30. Within the beta, players will get access to a selection of maps, weapons, equipment, perks, and game modes.
In a switch up from the past few years, the first beta weekend will not be exclusive to PlayStation. As part of Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, exclusivity of certain Operators, game modes, and beta weekends has ended. Players across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC can enjoy both beta weekends.
