It wouldn’t be a Call of Duty game without a series of leaks, because those are the rules, and so, as expected, the dates of the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta have dribbled out on the internet.
According to intel acquired by COD Tracker and subsequently confirmed by the PlayStation Store (via Reddit), early access to the beta opens on 8 October for PS4 pre-order players. We don’t know for the moment when everybody else gets to jump in, but previous Call of Duty betas have spanned multiple weeks so we can probably assume other players will be phased in one week at a time.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War launches on 13 November.
