Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Breaks Records With Its Biggest Beta Ever

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 has shattered records with its recent open beta, becoming the largest in the franchise’s history. Activision confirmed this milestone on social media, celebrating the unprecedented player participation and engagement. The open beta recorded the highest number of players, most hours played, and the greatest amount of matches completed across the series.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6, developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, is set for release on October 25, 2024. After the lukewarm reception of Modern Warfare 3, fans have eagerly anticipated this release. The game introduces a fresh omnidirectional movement feature, allowing players to sprint, dive, and slide in any direction during multiplayer matches. This feature, along with other improvements, has already garnered positive feedback from both players and content creators.

Microsoft’s Acquisition and Game Pass Impact

This release marks the first major Call of Duty game since Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. With Black Ops 6 launching as a Day One entry on Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft is aiming for record-breaking player counts and a significant boost in Xbox sales. The game’s presence on Xbox Game Pass could shift a larger portion of the franchise’s player base to Xbox consoles, despite it being available on other platforms.

While Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is already making waves with its beta, its performance post-launch will be watched closely, particularly in light of past controversies and Microsoft’s ambitions for the franchise’s future.
