Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 gets multiplayer beta dates

Mark you calendars, CoD fans!

Activision just announced that the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer beta will begin on August 31 on consoles and PC.

In the upcoming beta, players will be able to try out the new Omnimovement system along with other new features in a selection of brand-new Core maps. The beta will also let players build their own loadouts, access a range of weapons and equipment, and try out a number of game modes.

For this multiplayer beta, players on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox will be able to try the game out. For those who want to try out the beta ASAP from August 31 to September 4 though, early access will only be available to players who have already pre-ordered the game.

Meanwhile, the multiplayer open beta will take place from September 7 to 9, meaning players who have not pre-ordered can try the game out, though they’ll have fewer days to do so.

Here are the specific details:

  • Weekend One: Early Access
    • Available to players who have preordered the game across all platforms (consoles and PC), as well as Game Pass subscribers. This Beta weekend will begin on Saturday, August 31 at 1 AM PH Time (GMT+8), and end on Thursday, September 5 at 1 AM PH time (GMT+8).
  • Weekend Two: Open Beta
