Early access to Black Ops 6.

This is the earliest date to be able to play the new Call of Duty.

The launch of Black Ops 6 is scheduled for October 25, bringing with it new movement mechanics and a set of maps for players to explore at the time of its release. As the date approaches, many fans are wondering when they will be able to access the game early. This year, the situation is different from previous releases, especially after Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard and changes to the launch strategy.

For those looking to have the opportunity to play Black Ops 6 as early as possible, it’s important to stay updated on the latest news from Activision as well as details related to availability on Game Pass. Based on the experience from the beta, Black Ops 6 has the potential to be among the top FPS games by the end of the year, so many are eagerly anticipating launch day.

Activision has confirmed that there will be no early access period for Black Ops 6, as they want all players to have the same experience at launch. Instead of allowing early access to the campaign, it has been decided that all modes, including Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies, will be available simultaneously on October 25. This decision aims to create a major global launch event, avoiding community fragmentation that can occur with early access.

The game will be available on October 25 across multiple platforms, including PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. Although the exact availability times have not yet been confirmed, Activision is expected to share more information about release times by timezone in the days leading up to launch.

Additionally, it has been announced that Black Ops 6 will be part of Xbox Game Pass from day one, allowing all subscribers to enjoy the game at the time of its release.
