It’s that time of the year again, another Call of Duty beta test with confusing access times and requirements. The Black Ops 7 beta<\/strong> dates will give you a chance to test out this year’s entry, which is already a controversial one, thanks to it being another seemingly smaller-scale direct follow-up in the same vein as Modern Warfare 3<\/a> amid Battlefield 6<\/a>‘s surging success so far.<\/p>\n

Below, I’ll go over all you need to know about the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7<\/a> beta, including the dates and times, how to get early access, and the content you can expect to get your hands on once you’re in.<\/p>\n

The Black Ops 7 beta is a six-day event spread over two periods on all platforms, as follows:<\/p>\n

Early Access<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Start:<\/strong> Thursday, October 2, at 10 am PDT \/ 1 pm EDT \/ 6 pm BST<\/li>\n
  • End: <\/strong>Sunday, October 5, at 10 am PDT \/ 1 pm EDT \/ 6 pm BST<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Open Beta<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Start:<\/strong> Sunday, October 5, at 10 am PDT \/ 1 pm EDT \/ 6 pm BST<\/li>\n
    • End:<\/strong> Wednesday, October 8, at 10 am PDT \/ 1 pm EDT \/ 6 pm BST<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      As seen in the details above, the early access beta rolls straight into the open beta on Sunday, before it ends on Wednesday. So, even those who join in later will still have plenty of time to try everything out.<\/p>\n

      As always, though, prepare for potential server issues that might delay your access. Of course, we could also see the beta extended (whether due to server issues or just for the sake of it), as was the case with the Black Ops 6 beta, in fact.<\/p>\n

      The good news is that you can preload the Black Ops 7 beta, though Activision has yet to detail how and when this will become available.<\/p>\n
