Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has been revealed, and details have been shared for the upcoming Open Beta, where players will get the first opportunity to get their hands on the title—and we’ve got all the crucial details.
The Black Ops 7 Open Beta is split into two parts, with the first few days available only to those with Early Access before the doors open for everyone, and it’s the perfect time to try out the title before the November 14 release.
In the guide below, we’ve outlined all of the crucial information for the Open Beta, including the release date and the exact start times.
When Does The Blacks Ops 7 Open Beta Begin?
The Black Ops 7 Open Beta begins on October 5, though three days of Early Access are available from October 2.
These dates have been confirmed by store listings for Black Ops 7 pre-orders, though it’s worth noting that the dates are subject to change.
The Open Beta then draws to a close on October 8, a natural conclusion given that Battlefield 6 is set for launch on October 10, and the two won’t want to clash.
If any further details are announced regarding the beta, we’ll add to this article.
