Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta file size, download times and more

4.4
Treyarch has revealed a few crucial details about the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta that you need to know.

In a new FAQ, Activision and Treyarch have taken on answering the most common questions about the upcoming beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3. This particular blog post doesn’t cover things like maps or modes, which have previously been detailed.

What it does cover is the game’s download size, when and how you get your keys etc. As for the download, the beta client will clock in at 15 GB.

In addition, the beta code you received from your retailer is not the one you’ll be using to download it. You will need to enter it at this website to get a beta token, which is what you’ll be redeeming on your console.

These tokens will be emailed to everyone who registered starting 12am PST on August 19 for the PS4 beta, and 12am PST on August 26 for PC and Xbox One. If you pre-ordered directly from PSN or Xbox Live, you won’t need to do any of that and the beta will be available to download once it goes live.

During the beta, periodic maintenance will be performed, bringing the servers offline.

Finally, the FAQ confirms that progress will not carry over to the main game, unlike what some believed.

JRMH Everyone here is retarded. BO3 has had almost 2 years of development, of course the beta is going to cover a LOT of the game. There may even be some zombies included in this beta.


Highly doubt they'll include zombies in the beta.

Hurleh 15 gig is quite normal for a beta lol


Almost every game I own is less than 15 GB lol. The best games like Rust and H1Z1 and csgo, garrys mod are all like 8 lol even less.


As for me, not including games that are last gen(s), full games are 8+ gb. I am talking about games that are optimized fairly well on PC. But i don't agree that a BETA of a game with nothing astounding should be 15gb, let alone the full version. I think they like to present large size of their games because they would like us to believe that there is a lot in the game.
