How to Play Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Open Beta and Early Access

Black Ops 7 is the latest entry in Treyarch’s Call of Duty sub-franchise, and as usual, the game is all set to receive an open beta ahead of its November release. The title picks up a decade later from where Black Ops 2 left off, and delves further into futuristic elements that the 2012 classic showcased. Along with the sci-fi aesthetic, BO7 will see the return of classic maps such as Raid and Hijacked, and feature beloved weapons like the Peacekeeper AR.

The devs will be inviting players for an extensive playtest to gather feedback on the multiplayer and stress test its servers. And if you’re interested in getting an early taste of the game, here’s everything to know about the Black Ops 7 Open Beta.
