A beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set to roll out this week, so here's how and when you can jump into the action.

Published on October 6th, 2020

After a divisive alpha test, Activision is launching the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta this week - which promises to be more reflective of the final game's shape.

The rollout of the beta varies depending on your devotion to the cause, with PlayStation 4 players who have pre-ordered the title digitally having access first from Thursday 8th October.

But when will it roll out for everyone else? Here's what we know so far about the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta.

What will feature in the Black Ops Cold War beta?

The beta will feature various 6v6 maps and modes, and a 12v12 Combined Arms mode - similar to the alpha.

The new 40-player mode Fireteam Dirty Bomb will be playable too.
