Accessing the Black Ops 7 beta test: A guide

Call of Duty fans, get ready for the upcoming open beta of Black Ops 7! Here's what you need to know about the beta and the two editions of the game available for purchase.

Firstly, the open beta for Black Ops 7 is split into two parts: early access and the true open beta. Xbox Game Pass subscribers at the Ultimate, PC, or Console tier can access the early beta without preordering, while those who preorder the game will receive early beta access starting on October 2, 2025, at 19:00 CEST for 72 hours.

The true open beta begins immediately after the early access period ends on October 5 at 10 am PT and ends on October 8 at 10 am PT. It's important to note that everyone, regardless of preorder status or Game Pass subscription, can participate in the true open beta.

As for the game's editions, the standard edition of Black Ops 7 costs $70, while the Vault edition costs $100. The Vault edition includes additional extras such as Blackcell (1 Season), Operator Collection, Mastercraft Weapon Collection, Ultra GobbleGum Pack for Zombies, Permanent Unlock Token, and Reznov Challenge Pack. Both editions of Black Ops 7 grant early beta access.

The open beta is available to anyone with a PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, or PC with the required specifications. However, only those who preorder or have the appropriate Game Pass subscription can access the early access period.

In light of the limited time of the open beta, players are encouraged to mark their calendars to ensure they don't miss out on the action. The beta can be joined as soon as it launches, so make sure you're ready to jump in and test out the new features of Black Ops 7!

As for the question of cross-platform play, it's not mentioned in the information provided, so it cannot be confirmed whether Black Ops 7 is cross-platform or not. Keep an eye out for further updates on this topic.

So, there you have it! Get ready for the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 open beta from October 2 to October 8, 2025. Preorder your copy or subscribe to Game Pass to gain early access to the beta, and don't forget to mark your calendars for the true open beta starting on October 5!
