The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Multiplayer Beta is being split into two weekends – you must pre-order the game for Early Access, but can play the second weekend for free.

The first is Weekend One, the Black Ops 6 Early Access Beta. This beta starts on August 30, and is only available for players who received an Early Access Beta code, or pre-ordered Black Ops 6.

Weekend Two is the Black Ops 6 Open Beta, and is available to all players, regardless of purchase. This kicks off on September 9, and will undoubtedly be the most popular weekend of the two.
