Are you ready for some more Black Ops? Call of Duty sure hopes you are, because Black Ops 7 is launching in a short while, and a beta test is coming up first.
As usual, pre-ordering the game will give you some early access to the beta. But if you don’t mind waiting a few days, you can pick it up when the open beta arrives that same week if you’re looking to give BO7 a try without putting down any money just yet.
Let’s look at all the essential details about the BO7 beta from Activision.
When is the Black Ops 7 beta?

The Call of Duty Black Ops 7 beta has two important dates to remember. The open beta kicks off officially on Oct. 5 on all available platforms. However, an early access period begins on Oct. 2. In short, those with early access will be able to hop in 72 hours early.
We will have to wait for Activision and their plans regarding the official starting times. The following countdown is based on when new seasons typically begin in Call of Duty titles, which will help you get a fair idea about when the open beta for Black Ops 7 could begin.
Once again, the timings aren’t from an official source and speculation for now. Once we get confirmation about the exact launch timings, we will update them on our countdown to help you stay on track.
How to play the BO7 beta

The BO7 beta is available to all players on Oct. 5, but you can play as early as Oct. 2 if you pre-order the game.
The dates have been confirmed by Activision, so you can call in sick now if you want to play as soon as possible. If you decide to pre-order any of the available bundles of Black Ops 7, you’re guaranteed early access to the open beta. Additionally, you’ll also be entitled to the following benefits:
- Reznov Challenge Pack – Immediately unlock the SOG Reznov Operator Skin in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty Warzone. Plus, get access to unlock the Stalingrad Reznov and Memory Reznov Operator Skins.
What’s included in the BO7 beta?
Full details about what’s to come in the BO7 beta will likely come on Sept. 30 at Call of Duty NEXT, a live streamed presentation about what’s to come in CoD. Recent CoD beta tests have included a small sampling of multiplayer maps and weapons, along with special unlocks that carry into the full game.
More details about BO7, its beta, multiplayer, Zombies, and even BO7’s integration into Warzone will be announced at CoD Next, which is just a few days before the early access beta begins.
