It&apos;s never really bothered me\u2014I&apos;m not enough of a Call of Duty fan to get worked up over it\u2014and pretty much everyone else just got used to it.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, there&apos;s no overlooking the change in this year&apos;s Black Ops 6 beta. There will be two separate weekend sessions, but no division on platforms. Instead, it&apos;s a simpler proposition: Anyone who preorders the game on PC or console, and all Game Pass subscribers, gets access to the first beta weekend, running from 10 am PT\/1 pm ET on August 30 to the same time on September 4. The second, notably shorter weekend\u201410 am PT\/1 pm ET on September 6 to September 9\u2014is open to everyone.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"BnZBYgS8XWSrDfr5XHvZqU\" name=\"GSjHi_DWEAALPCa.jpg\" alt=\"Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer beta dates\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/call-of-duty-black-ops-6-multiplayer-beta-kicks-off-in-august-and-this-time-playstation-players-arent-getting-in-ahead-of-the-rest-of-us.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"1\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"expandable\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Activision)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As for what&apos;s in the Black Ops 6 beta, we&apos;ll no doubt get full details in the Call of Duty: Next showcase on August 28, two days before the early access beta begins.

Sony furiously opposed the buyout largely over concerns Microsoft would make the series an Xbox console exclusive (although it later came to light that it <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/email-reveals-playstation-boss-wasnt-actually-worried-about-call-of-duty-becoming-xbox-exclusive-well-be-ok-more-than-ok\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wasn&apos;t <em>too<\/em> worried<\/a> about the possibility), leading Microsoft to sign 10-year deals with <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/microsofts-fight-with-sony-now-has-it-signing-call-of-duty-deals-with-platforms-weve-never-heard-of\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pretty much everyone<\/a> to prove it wasn&apos;t angling for exclusivity.
