With the release date of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 rapidly approaching, many players are eager to find out when they can dive into the game to try it out. While the official release is set for October 25, players will have the opportunity to get early hands-on experience by accessing the Black Ops 6 Multiplayer Beta.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will transport players back to the 90s with a spy-thriller-themed Campaign, Multiplayer, and the return of round-based Zombies. Although early access to other aspects of the game such as the Campaign is yet to be confirmed, Activision has announced the start date and time for the Black Ops 6 Multiplayer Beta.
