Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s multiplayer beta weekends kick off on Friday, Aug. 30 at 1 p.m. EDT, Activision announced on Monday.
The first weekend, which runs until Wednesday, Sept. 4 at 1 p.m. EDT, is set aside for those who have pre-ordered the game before then. However, Xbox Game Pass subscribers will be able to get in the first beta without a pre-order. They can access it through the Game Pass library.
An open beta available to everyone kicks off the next weekend, Friday, Sept. 6 at 1 p.m. EDT, ending the following Monday, Sept. 9 at 1 p.m. EDT.
The beta is available for all platforms (PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X). The beta client is available in those consoles marketplaces, as well as through Xbox Game Pass. For PC, it’s available from Steam, Battle.Net, and the Microsoft Store.
