BeforeBlack Ops 6officially launches in October, you can get a head start with the upcoming Open Beta period. You’ll be transported back to the ’90s with the newest campaign, equipped with a loadout of robust weapons.

To participate inBlack Ops 6Early Access, you mustpre-orderthe game to get a code. Game Pass users can also obtain access, but it may require Game Pass Core to play Multiplayer. The Open Beta, on the other hand, will be available for all platforms and is a separate event from Early Access. If it’s anything likeMW3’s, you likely won’t need to pre-order the game since it’ll be free to play for a limited time.
Pre-loads for theBlack Ops 6Beta have already begun with theModern Warfare 3andWarzoneSeason 5 Reloadedupdate. If you’ve recently installed a new patch to your game, you’ll see aBlack Ops 6Multiplayer file there. This patch will prepare you for the beta, so you don’t have to worry too much about storage on launch day.
Despite being anOpen Betaversion, there will be plenty of content to try out, including building your own loadout with the latest weapons and perks. You’ll also get to test out the newOmnimovement, which tremendously changes how an Operator moves.
It isn’t clear what modes will be available for the beta, but it will likely have standard ones like Team Deathmatch and Kill Confirmed.Zombiesmay not be a part of this, as theCall of DutyBlog only mentions Multiplayer.
Keep in mind that Open Beta progress might not transfer over toBlack Ops 6’sfull launch. The two weekends primarily aim to give you a taste of its features, so you’ll need to start over again in October.
