Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 can now claim the spot for the most-played beta test in the history of the acclaimed first-person shooter series.

The Black Ops 6 beta had two weekends of omnimovement madness. Players who pre-ordered the game got Early Access, then an Open Beta arrived for everyone to take part. During those testing days, the Black Ops 6 beta became the largest Call of Duty beta ever.

Data gathered by Treyarch during both Early Access and Open Beta stages indicate this is the most-played beta test for any game in the franchise's history. Let's take a look at what they shared.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 had biggest COD beta ever

There is no doubt this was one of the most hyped up tests for a first-person shooter in recent memory. The content, the discussions on social media, and the alleged numbers prove that players were itching to try Black Ops 6 before a full release.

Now, Treyarch did not disclose the actual numbers regarding its claims, but it still states that the Black Ops 6 beta is the biggest Call of Duty beta of all time. With data, again, from Early Access and the Open Beta period, here is where it ranks:

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

There's a chance that the Early Access portion inflated these numbers by giving extra time to players who most certainly put in the same amount of playtime during the open portion. Still, it claims the spot as the biggest COD beta ever.

That just shows how excited everyone is for something fresh in the Call of Duty series. Black Ops 6 introduces plenty of new features, a move away from the Modern Warfare storyline, and a return of fan-favorite characters, scenes, and interactions.

When Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 goes live, with its availability on Game Pass, it very well may be the biggest Call of Duty in history. We'll have to wait and see, but don't be surprised if the launch outdoes all COD games that came before it.
