Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 does not have campaign early access

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is scheduled to launch on October 25. The game recently concluded its multiplayer open beta on Monday. While the open beta period began on September 6, those who pre-ordered the game got early access to the multiplayer open beta from August 30 to September 4. However, players will not get early access to the Black Ops 6 campaign before the game launches, Activision has confirmed.

Black Ops 6 Campaign Early Access

In a statement to popular Call of Duty news portal Charlie Intel, the publisher has reportedly confirmed that there will be no early access to Black Ops 6 across the Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies modes.

“The team is fully focused on October 25th. We are excited about everything the game has to offer across Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies,” Activision was quoted as saying in the statement.

“This year we decided to make sure the community can play all the game modes they want at once, so we’re back to one big global launch event on October 25.

So there is no Early Access beat for Black Ops 6 this year, just the countdown to launch.”

The statement confirms that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will have a single worldwide launch for all players on October 25, with no early access to the campaign for players who pre-ordered the game.

This is a change from last year, when Activision gave a week early access period for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The game released worldwide for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on November 10, 2023, but players who pre-ordered or pre-purchased Modern Warfare 3 digitally will receive early access to the campaign starting November 2.

Black Ops 6 will also be the first Call of Duty title to appear on Xbox Game Pass when it launches on October 25 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X. Game Pass subscribers will be able to play the full game, including all modes, at no additional cost.
