Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is already making waves by breaking multiple franchise records. Its recent beta, held from September 6 to 9, became the largest in the series' history. This unprecedented participation suggests that the upcoming launch on October 25 could set a new standard for the franchise.
The open beta allowed players to test the multiplayer mode, offering access to weapons, eight maps, and modes like Mosh Pit and Face Off, with a level cap of 30. Exclusive rewards, such as a weapon blueprint and emblem, could be unlocked. Developer Treyarch made adjustments based on player feedback, further enhancing the experience, resulting in a significant number of new and returning players.
Activision announced that the beta had the most total players, hours played, and matches completed in franchise history, marking it as the biggest Call of Duty beta to date. While exact statistics weren't provided, Treyarch confirmed more exciting content is coming at launch, including 16 multiplayer maps, a campaign, Zombies mode, and ongoing post-launch updates.
