Early Access Information for Black Ops 7 Beta
To partake in the Early Access beta, players must follow a few simple routes to secure their spot.
The most reliable method is pre-ordering Black Ops 7. If you opted for a digital download via Steam, Battlenet, the PlayStation Store, or Microsoft Store, your account will automatically have access once downloads become available.
For those who pre-ordered through online retailers like Amazon, an email with your access code should arrive soon, enabling you to generate your beta token (details further down).Physical store purchases will have the code printed on your receipt.
Alternatively, possessing an active Game Pass subscription will grant access—PC players should use PC Game Pass, while Xbox users should have either Game Pass Ultimate or Standard.
Your last option is to win a key through giveaways commonly held by notable Call of Duty influencers and content creators on platforms like Twitter. Be vigilant for announcements on available codes!
How to Redeem Your Beta Code
Regardless of how you obtained your Early Access code, it must be redeemed to gain your beta token, which facilitates access to the game on your chosen platform.
Sometimes, the beta code is displayed immediately after entering the 13-character code, so persistence pays off. It’s advisable to complete this process early, as server traffic tends to be heavy when the beta launches, and email notifications may experience delays.

Although Activision has yet to disclose pre-load schedules, it is confirmed that the Black Ops 7 beta will be available for early download. Expectations suggest this could align with the Call of Duty: Next multiplayer reveal event, potentially taking place this week.
