The schedule for the Black Ops 7 beta has been announced, and it will take place in early October. Players will have six days to try out the game, starting with a special Early Access period before opening up to everyone through an Open Beta.
Although we don’t know all the details about what will be in the beta, it’s expected that players will get a taste of some of the maps—likely a few from the sixteen 6v6 and two 20v20 multiplayer maps set for launch—and try out the new Omnimovement system for smooth movements. If you want to mark your calendar, here are the key dates for the Black Ops 7 beta.

When will the Black Ops 7 beta end?
The beta is scheduled to conclude on Wednesday, October 8, at 10 a.m. Pacific / 1 p.m. Eastern / 6 p.m. BST. However, this could change if there are technical issues or overlap with server maintenance. For example, the Battlefield 6 beta was extended by four hours past the original end time, so there’s always a chance that an extension or a bonus testing session could happen.
Note: All dates and times might shift slightly depending on circumstances.
