Call of Duty fans will have trouble accessing the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta if the game is being shared with them through Xbox Game Pass. Black Ops 6’s beta started on August 30, as players from all platforms rushed onto the servers. Black Ops 6 is set to officially launch on October 25, with people who pre-ordered or are subscribed to Game Pass getting early access to the beta.
Players who participate in the Black Ops 6 beta can receive up to nine cosmetic rewards by leveling up during each beta weekend. The rewards include an emblem, skins, a loading screen, and more. The beta lasts from August 30 to September 4 for those with early access and September 6 to September 9 for everyone.
Fans have been taking to Reddit to report that they can’t access the Black Ops 6 beta if the game is being shared with them on Xbox through another person. Xbox game sharing has been a thing for quite some time, and many people take advantage of it with a Game Pass subscription. It’s not known at the time of writing if this was intended or not, and Xbox has yet to make a statement about it.
Players Who Game Share Black Ops 6 Are Having Trouble Accessing the Beta
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has a lot of new features fans can try out in the beta. Players who grab an enemy as a human shield can use voice chat directly with the victim in Black Ops 6. Treyarch Studios, the company behind the development of the new Call of Duty title, asked players to “be nice” when using this feature. Some fans have claimed that this feature will be a gold mine for content.
Omnimovement, a new omnidirectional movement system, is another new feature coming to Black Ops 6. Omnimovement was featured in a Black Ops 6 trailer on August 26, showing off the new system in the multiplayer reveal. The trailer featured this movement option in full detail, with characters jumping and diving all around. This new system allows players to walk, sprint, slide, and dive in any direction, bringing a new dimension of movement to the first-person shooter. Players can use the new Omnimovement system in multiplayer, the campaign, Warzone, and Zombies as well, and it cannot be turned off. Not all Call of Duty fans are excited about this new movement, as they aren’t looking forward to learning the all-new system.

WHERE TO PLAY
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
