Curious about the Black Ops 7 beta? It seems like just yesterday summer began, but now we’re eagerly anticipating those perfect fall nights spent diving into the latest Call of Duty adventure. Ever since the Black Ops 7 release date was revealed at Gamescom ONL, players have been buzzing about getting their hands on this year’s installment in the legendary first-person shooter game series. And as always, a massive multiplayer beta is on the horizon! Get ready for a full week of intense multiplayer and thrilling Zombies action in the BO7 beta, starting in mere hours.
Black Ops 7 Beta Schedule
The early access phase of the Black Ops 7 beta is currently running until Sunday, October 5, 2025, having begun on October 2 at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM BST. Following this, the open beta kicks off on October 5 at the same times, concluding on Wednesday, October 10, 2025.
Both segments of the beta will be available across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms. This year’s beta schedule is a bit different from previous Call of Duty titles, which often separated closed and open betas by weeks. This updated format means players without early access will primarily engage during weekdays. This change likely aims to encourage more players to pre-order the game rather than waiting for its inclusion on services like Game Pass.
Exclusive BO7 Beta Rewards
As is tradition, diving into the beta grants you a suite of exclusive rewards to flaunt in the full game later this year. These goodies are earned by reaching specific account levels during the beta period. Just a friendly reminder: your progress resets once the official game launches, so enjoy these beta-exclusive items while you can!
Here’s a breakdown of all the BO7 beta rewards and the levels at which you unlock them:
- Beta Player Animated Emblem: Unlocks at Level 2
- Gun Flex Emote: Unlocks at Level 6
- Beta Neon Weapon Sticker: Unlocks at Level 11
- Beta Beasts Weapon Charm: Unlocks at Level 15
- Wei Lin Operator Skin: Unlocks at Level 20
- Falkner Operator Skin: Unlocks at Level 20 (Exclusive to pre-order players)
- Beta Survivor Loading Screen: Unlocks at Level 23
- Beta Survivor Calling Card: Unlocks at Level 27
- Beta Survivor Weapon Blueprint: Unlocks at Level 30
How to Secure Your Early Access Beta Code
Securing early access to the beta is straightforward: simply pre-order the game on any platform. Additionally, if you tuned into CoD Next on September 30, 2025, you might already have an early access beta code waiting for you.
For details on acquiring codes through Black Ops 7 Twitch drops, check out a dedicated guide. Otherwise, pre-ordering either the Vault Edition or the standard edition will grant you entry into the early access beta. The Vault Edition sweetens the deal with a BlackCell Battle Pass for one season, an exclusive Operator collection, a Mastercraft weapon collection, an Ultra GobbleGum Pack for Zombies mode, and a Permanent Unlock Token, alongside other unique beta rewards.
Redeeming Your Early Access Code
Once you have your early access code, head to the official redemption website. There, you’ll select your preferred gaming platform to receive a new, platform-specific code. Simply enter this new code on your console or PC to unlock access to the beta this weekend.
We’re just as thrilled as you are for the Black Ops 7 beta! But before you jump in, you might still have some unfinished business in the previous installment. Consider wrapping up the Zombies Reckoning main quest or hunting down any other Zombies easter eggs you might have overlooked. And don’t forget to participate in the latest BO6 events in standard multiplayer.
