Black Ops 6 beta was the largest in Call of Duty history

Following the less-than-stellar reception towards last year’s Call of Duty Modern Warfare III, Activision is relying on the team at Treyarch to bring COD fans back onto their side with the upcoming release of Black Ops 6. Ahead of its official launch, both closed and open betas were held – revealing a new record of excitement for the upcoming shooter.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the team at Treyarch revealed just how popular the game’s recently-concluded closed and open betas were, saying:

“Thank you to our community. Together, you made the Black Ops 6 Open Beta the biggest Call of Duty Beta ever”. Breaking down exactly what they mean by this, the BO6 beta is said to have managed:

• #1 in total players
• #1 in hours played
• #1 in playtime per player
• #1 in most matches played

Given the fact that COD betas typically run for a single weekend or two, these stats are able to be more easily compared to prior releases – meaning these records are unlikely to have been twisted to suit a narrative.

Still, it’ll be interesting to see what the consensus of Black Ops 6 is when the game launches officially on the 25th of October.
