What time does the Black Ops 6 beta start? — SiegeGG

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is right around the corner and as per tradition, the developers are releasing a beta for players to get a sense of the game.

Set to release on 25th October 2024, the game has garnered attention for its new and improved game mechanics, featuring the omnimovement. Here’s everything you need to know about the Black Ops 6 beta and its start time.

Black Ops 6 beta start time

There will be two beta weekends, but none of them will be exclusive to one platform since the partial exclusivity deal with PlayStation ended with Modern Warfare 3 last year.

That means there will be two start dates, one for the early access weekend and another for the open beta weekend.

Week 1 (Early access only)

For players that pre-ordered Black Ops 6, obtained a code, or are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass, the beta starts on Friday, August 30.

The test period will go live at around 10 AM PT (6 PM BST). There is a high chance you won’t be able to connect to the server for the first 30 minutes, so wait out and join a little late. The first week of the Beta ends on September 4 at 10 AM PT.

Week 2 (All platforms)

The rest of the players will have to wait until September 6, since that is when the open beta period starts. Servers will go live at 10 AM PT (6 PM BST) and close on Monday, September 9 at the same time.
