Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Beta Was Largest in PS4 History

4.5
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 just concluded its beta on the PlayStation 4 last weekend (it was followed by a beta on the Xbox One and PC), and it appears as though it was massively successful- Activision announced today that Black Ops 3’s beta was the highest in PlayStation 4 history.

“This is about making sure we deliver to our fans the best possible game at launch,” said Rob Kostich, senior vice president and general manager of Call of Duty. “Becoming the biggest beta on PS4 speaks to the excitement felt by gamers and the quality of work by Treyarch. And remember, this beta is just a fraction of the overall multiplayer experience and a portion of what’s coming on 6th November when the full game – spanning campaign, multiplayer and Zombies hits worldwide.”

“We’ve been looking forward to getting the game into the hands of the people that matter most – the fans,” said Mark Lamia, studio head of Treyarch. “We can’t thank them all enough for participating and providing us with invaluable feedback and data that Treyarch is already hard at work incorporating into the game for launch. Our goal is to deliver the best Day One experience possible and this beta – along with the input from our passionate community of fans – has helped position us to do just that.”

“Played by millions of PlayStation fans around the world, the response to the beta was massive and shows the strength when bringing together the best-selling console franchise with the best-selling game console,” said Adam Boyes, VP of Publisher and Developer Relations, Sony Computer Entertainment America. “Signalling an impressive start of a new era for PlayStation and this famed franchise, there was no better way to welcome Call of Duty to its new home on PlayStation 4.”

The beta for Black Ops 3 set records for delivering the most downloads, gameplay sessions and hours of gameplay to date, according to Activision and Sony PlayStation.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 will launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC this November.

It's great to see that many of the new games that are coming out on next-gen consoles & PC are releasing betas. To be honest it's something that should've been there from the very start... that being public betas of course. I always saw and heard of famous gamers getting a hands on experience in various studios, so its good that the public do too.

Freshwaffle How many AAA betas have been on the ps4? This is like Cod Ghosts posting that it was the number one game on xbox one with only two weeks into the "next-gen" lifecycle.


Destiny was a huge AAA title that had a beta, and is still (at least on Xbox One) on the top 5 most played games list to this day.


Destiny was the most hyped game for 2014, Battlefield Hardline also had a Beta too. This surprises me a little bit seeing as though the majority of the people are saying they aren't getting it or that cod is dead.
