The arrival of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is just around the corner, and Activision and Treyarch are giving us a sneak peek with an open beta starting this weekend. This is your chance to experience all the new features in Black Ops 6, from the innovative Omnimovement system to new weapons, Zombies mode, and more.

If you’re eager to participate in the open beta and want to know all the details, we’ve got you covered. Below, we’ll outline everything you need to know, including the start date, time, and how to gain access to the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Open Beta.

Black Ops 6 Open Beta Start Date And Time

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available for players to experience before its full release through two phases: the Early Access weekend and the Open Beta weekend, which will be open to more players. There are plenty of reasons to jump in as early as possible, so here’s a quick breakdown of the Early Access and Open Beta weekend dates, times, and how to play.

Weekend One (Early Access): August 30 – September 4

• This phase is available to players who have pre-ordered the game. It starts on August 30 at 10 AM PT and ends on September 4 at 10 AM PT.

Weekend Two (Full Open Beta): September 6 – 9

• The second Beta weekend is open to all players and is set to begin on September 6 at 10 AM PT, ending on September 9 at 10 AM PT.

How To Play The Black Ops 6 Open Beta

To participate in the Black Ops 6 Early Access beta weekend, you'll need to have pre-ordered the game or be an Xbox Game Pass subscriber (Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass PC, or Game Pass Console). Alternatively, you can wait for the second weekend when the full open beta becomes available to everyone on PlayStation, Xbox, and Battle.net storefronts.

Jumping into either the Early Access or full open beta will earn you some great rewards, such as cosmetics unlocked by reaching Player Level milestones. These rewards will carry over into the full game when Black Ops 6 launches, making it well worth your time. You can check out a full list of rewards, but for now, that’s all you need to know to get ready to dive into the Black Ops 6 Open Beta as soon as it drops this weekend.
