When is the CoD Black Ops 6 beta?

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 open beta launched on Friday 6th September 2024.

This year's beta has been split across two different weekends, which we've detailed for you below.

Weekend One

Dates: 30th August to 4th September (now complete)

How to get in: This closed beta was available to players who pre-ordered the game across all platforms. And if you're a Game Pass subscriber, you're in luck, because you could play it through there!

Weekend Two

Dates: 6th September to 9th September

How to get in: This open beta is available to all players, whether you've pre-ordered or not.

When does the CoD BO6 beta end? UK time

The CoD BO6 beta ends at 6pm BST today (Monday 9th September) here in the UK.

Over in the USA, this second phase of the beta will close at 10am PT or 1pm ET.

Whichever time zone you're in, check out our handy video below to scrub up on the meta.

How to get CoD Black Ops 6 beta codes

To join the second CoD BO6 beta (the one taking place this weekend), you don't need a special code to join.

You should be able to just download the beta on your platform of choice and play it for free. This is the open beta, after all!

The previous weekend, the first part of the beta that is now over, was only open to people who pre-ordered the game.

You can check out all the different editions available for purchase on our CoD: BO6 pre-order page, where you should be able to hopefully save a few pennies too.

What's included in the CoD BO6 beta?

For those wanting to familiarise themselves with the new mechanics before loading into the action, players can take part in the training course, a short tutorial led by Black Ops icon Frank Woods.

The tutorial overviews Omnimovement, and is a great place to practice ahead of taking on the opposition.

Both beta weekends contain a variety of maps, which we've listed below:

• Babylon (Weekend 2 only)
• Stakeout (Weekend 2 only)
• Derelict
• Scud
• Skyline
• Rewind
• Pit
• Gala

Maps require game modes for players to compete in, and the Black Ops 6 beta features several modes familiar to franchise fans:

• Gunfight (Weekend 2 only)
• Face Off Kill Order (Weekend 2 only)
• Team Deathmatch
• Domination
• Hardpoint
• Kill Order
• Face Off Team Deathmatch
• Face Off Kill Confirmed
