Time is ticking!

Droves of Call of Duty players will be busy all weekend following the beginning of the Black Ops 6 beta. Developed by Treyarch, the newest entry in the beloved Black Ops series has introduced new maps and an intricated omni-movement system while bringing back the fan-favorite classic Prestige system.

With the game not set to arrive until October 25, 2024, players have input their pre-order codes to experience the game beforehand, but when does the early access COD Black Ops 6 beta end? Here is the answer.

When does the COD Black Ops 6 beta end?

BLACK OPS 6 EARLY ACCESS BETA ENDS IN

The COD Black Ops 6 early access beta will end on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at 1 p.m. ET. That means beginning on Aug. 30, the beta period will last five days down the very hour. Then, the Open Beta period will begin on September 6 and end on Sept. 9.

How long is the BO6 beta?

If you're one of the many who pre-ordered the game or happened to grab a code, there's no better time than the present to play the game. Unfortunately, once 1 p.m. ET on Sept. 4 comes and goes, you must wait until the "Open Beta" period begins on Sept. 6.

How do I get a beta code for Black Ops 6?

For those looking to play the game and wondering how to acquire a code, your best option is pre-ordering the game. Doing so through various retail outlets or online platforms such as Steam, Battle.net, and the Epic Games Store will guarantee COD Black Ops 6 beta access before it ends.
