Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta exclusive to PS4 for five days

4.7
PlayStation 4 owners will be playing the upcoming beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 a few days before anyone else.

When Activision announced the start date of the Black Ops 3 multiplayer beta last week, it only revealed the August 19 date. At the time, it was not known how long the PlayStation 4 exclusivity period will last.

Part of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s presence at Comic-Con last weekend, was an event called Zombies Escape Room Challenge. Anyone who attended said event, received a 30-day PlayStation Plus trial card. These cards had new details about the beta.


As you can see above, the beta will be exclusive to PlayStation 4 for five whole days. Starting August 19 and possibly opening to everyone else August 23. Treyarch hasn’t announced an end date, but the number of exclusive days seems to suggest a period longer than what you’d expect from AAA betas.

This beta, along with the 30-day DLC exclusivity period, are all part of the series switching homes, from Xbox to PlayStation.

No beta for the Xbox? Thought they weren't focusing on "one community."

Five days is not that bad. I kept hearing that it would be exclusive for two weeks which would be horrible.

Ages Will they reset all stats at the launch of the game


They more than likely will because as Maj said it would be an unfair advantage to people who didn't get in on the BETA. That or stats may not save either.

Hopefully not, but they most likely will cos for the people who didn't get to play the BETA it will be seen as an unfair advantage

NBC Is the PS4 one lasting until the xbox one ends, or is it ending before? I have the beta for both consoles, and hopefully I can just play it on Ps4 all the way through.


no i assume that it will go 2 weeks maybe more, but the ps4 will get a week extra and continue when it releases on xbox/pc

Human PS4 coming ahead then, xbox is out baby


If you think a CoD beta coming out 5 days before Xbox, is going to kill a whole consoles followers you might want to reevaluate your analysis.
