Game Overview:
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is first-person shooter developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, and published by Activision.
It is set in the 1990s against the backdrop of the Gulf War.
Treyarch's recent beta topped previous titles in total hours and players, matches played, and playtime for each player.
Activision is ensuring "the community gets to dig into any and all modes that they want at the same time" on October 25th.
Check out the round-based map's various new threats, where to find the Pack-A-Punch Machine for upgrading weapons, and much more.
The open beta includes eight maps and modes with a 30-level cap. It also offers the chance to try out features like Omnimovement.
Available until September 4th, the early access beta offers four core maps, two Strike maps, six modes, and a level cap of 20.
Taking an enemy player hostage enables voice chat between the parties, where you can debate the woes of skill-based matchmaking.
Players can also level up to 20 during early access, which increases further to 30 when the open beta goes live on September 6th.
As the title's second round-based Zombies map, Liberty Falls features the return of the Jet Gun and the Mega Abomination.
The sequel launches with 16 all-new maps. A multiplayer open beta is coming in September, with early access due this week.
"Most Wanted" sees the team infiltrating a black site to extract Russel Adler, which quickly devolves into an explosive escape.
Xbox Game Pass Core subscribers can also play SnowRunner, Control: Ultimate Edition, and Cities: Skylines from August 21st.
Players can also save weapon builds with their favorite attachments and blueprints for Zombies, accessing them from walls and crates.
Host Geoff Keighley confirms the shooter will receive its first campaign playthrough at the August 20th opening ceremony.
Weaver, Carver, and Dr Grey reunite with Dr. Peck and newcomer Maya to escape a hazardous prison and exact revenge on Richtoffen.

Activision has offered a first look at the core cast and one of the launch maps for the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Zombies mode with a new cinematic trailer.
However, the team is "conscious of ensuring we're not widening the skill gap too much" for those who don't want to use it.
The early access beta will be available on all platforms for those who pre-order the game, as well as Game Pass subscribers, while an open beta will also go live a week later.
The developers didn't know about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 coming to Xbox Game Pass until recently, according to senior director of production Yale Miller.
Activision took to X (formerly Twitter) to clear the air about the storage requirements for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Those subscribed to Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass will get access to the entire game. No modes will be available through Game Pass Core.
It will be the largest install size for a Call of Duty game at launch to date, which is saying something for a series that's notorious for excessive install sizes.
Treyarch's next Call of Duty will have twelve Core 6v6 maps and four Strike Maps at launch. Theater Mode also makes a return.
Omnimovement allows for sprinting, sliding and diving in any direction. Players can also enter a supine prone with full 360-degree aiming.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will make use of texture streaming to save on space, forcing an internet connection for even the single-player campaign.
Raven Software leads the campaign, which sees the team going rogue after discovering a shadowy presence has infiltrated the US government.
The first-person shooter is set to launch later this year for PC and consoles, with more details set to follow soon.
Treyarch's next title in the long-running series will receive a worldwide reveal and dedicated Direct presentation on June 9th.

After days of recent teases, Activision has formally announced this year's Call of Duty game, titled Black Ops 6.
The next title is rumored to be Call of Duty Black Ops Gulf War, developed by Treyarch and launching sometime in October.
Microsoft will announce the same at its upcoming Xbox Games Showcase in June, a report has claimed.

With a focus on CIA, the sixth Black Ops title will allegedly "explore a nuanced narrative of the Gulf War".
The actor made a post on Facebook revealing that he is involved in playing a character in Call of Duty 2024. The post has since been taken down, however.
