How to get into the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Open Beta

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is one of the most anticipated games coming out this year thanks to its apparent innovations to the long-running series. With an open beta on the way, all interested players will get to try it, so here’s how you can gain access to it yourself.

How to get in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Beta

The Black Ops 6 open beta is open to all players once it starts, but not initially. The game features an Early Access period that will allow people who pre-order the game or have a qualifying active Xbox Game Pass subscription to play it early.

If you’re looking to play the beta for Black Ops 6 early, simply pre-order any Digital Edition through your platform’s digital storefront. You can also subscribe to Xbox Game Pass (Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass PC, Game Pass Console). Both methods will automatically flag your account for early open beta access, and you’ll be able to log into the Early Access open beta as soon as it opens.

Alternatively, you can pre-purchase the game at any physical retailer to receive a redemption code. This code, once entered and redeemed, will also flag you for access to the Early Access Open Beta.

For players interested in playing the open beta without a cost attached, you will be able to play once the Early Access period for the open beta has concluded. Once it has, you’ll be able to log into the beta freely, without any extra steps.
