While Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launches on November 14, you can get a taste of the military shooter’s multiplayer action on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S beginning today, October 2, with the debut of the game’s multiplayer beta. The beta test was supposed to begin at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET today, but it went live about an hour early.
Black Ops 7’s early access beta period runs from October 2, to Sunday, October 5, at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. This window is for folks who preorder the game, subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate, get a code via Xfinity, or if they watched Call of Duty: Next for one hour on Twitch. Meanwhile, everyone who’s willing to wait–as well as those early birds–can jump into the shooting arena from Sunday, October 5, to Wednesday, October 8, at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET.
While you’ll get a feel for the changes to Black Ops 7’s gameplay–like body shields and wall jumping—the beta will also include a Zombies map for you to check out.
If you’re looking to hit the ground running in the Black Ops 7 beta, you can see the exact loadouts that the game’s own directors are using and copy them.
