Update, October 7, 2025: Good news! The Black Ops 7 beta has been extended and will now conclude on Thursday, October 9.
Ready for the Black Ops 7 beta? It feels like just yesterday we were enjoying summer, but now it’s time to gear up for those exciting fall nights with the newest Call of Duty installment.
Ever since the Black Ops 7 release date was revealed at Gamescom ONL, players have been eager to jump into this year’s installment of the iconic first-person shooter series. As always, a massive multiplayer beta is on the horizon, offering a full week of intense action across multiplayer and Zombies modes in the BO7 beta, starting very soon.
Black Ops 7 Beta Schedule
The Black Ops 7 beta is currently underway and will conclude on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at 9 AM PDT / 12 PM EDT / 5 PM BST. This beta is available for players across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
This year’s Call of Duty beta features a slightly different structure compared to previous iterations, where closed and open beta periods were often separated by weeks. This setup means that players without early access will find their playtime restricted to weekdays. It’s likely a strategy to encourage more pre-orders, especially with the game’s anticipated launch on Game Pass.
Exclusive BO7 Beta Rewards
Just like previous betas, jumping into the Black Ops 7 beta will grant you a host of exclusive in-game rewards to flaunt once the full game launches. These special items are unlocked as you reach specific account levels during the beta period. Keep in mind that your beta progress will reset upon the game’s official release.
Here’s a breakdown of the BO7 beta rewards and the levels required to unlock them:
- Animated Beta Player Emblem – Reach Level 2
- Gun Flex Emote – Reach Level 6
- Beta Neon Weapon Sticker – Reach Level 11
- Beta Beasts Weapon Charm – Reach Level 15
- Wei Lin Operator Skin – Reach Level 20
- Falkner Operator Skin – Reach Level 20 (Exclusive to pre-order players)
- Beta Survivor Loading Screen – Reach Level 23
- Beta Survivor Calling Card – Reach Level 27
- Beta Survivor Weapon Blueprint – Reach Level 30
Securing Early Access to the Beta
Early access to the Black Ops 7 beta is primarily granted to players who pre-order the game on any platform. Additionally, you might have received an early access beta code if you tuned into CoD Next on September 30, 2025.
While specific details on obtaining codes through Twitch drops are available in a dedicated guide, your most straightforward path to early access remains pre-ordering. Opting for the Vault Edition not only secures your spot in the early access beta but also bundles in fantastic bonuses such as 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 unique beta rewards.
Redeeming Your Early Access Code
Once you have your early access code, visit the official Call of Duty website to redeem it. You’ll then select your preferred gaming platform to receive a new, platform-specific code. Input this final code on your console or PC to unlock access to the beta this weekend.
We’re just as excited for the Black Ops 7 beta as you are, but don’t forget there’s still plenty to do in the previous game! You might consider wrapping up the Zombies Reckoning main quest or hunting down any other Zombies easter eggs you’ve yet to discover. And, of course, dive into the latest BO6 events in standard multiplayer before the new game takes over!
