Activision is releasing 10,000 beta keys this weekend for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War


Activision has officially announced Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Like previous entries, there will be a beta, open to the public, but you can get early access if you pre-order specific versions of the game. However, there is another way to gain early access without spending money: Activision is releasing 10,000 beta keys this weekend.

This weekend, the Call of Duty League will hold its first championship. On Sunday, August 30 at 4pm ET, the publisher will provide beta keys for early access to viewers watching the stream on the league’s official website.

To be eligible for the gift, you must sign in or sign up for your Activision account and link it to the official Call of Duty League website or accompanying app. Then you have to select if you want to play the beta on PC, PS4, or Xbox One.

Digital keys for early access to the open beta are also not the only ones you can snap this weekend. On Saturday, players can also view the stream for a chance to win a code for the CDL Champs 2020 Pack, which includes Call of Duty League designs for various items in the game, including virtual graffiti shots and custom weapon designs. If you agree to at least 30 minutes at any two-day event, you can receive a code for a virtual knife with the Call of Duty League logo printed on the sheet, which can be used in Modern warfare en Warzone.

Activision has not said when it will release the beta, however Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set for November 13, which means you do not have to wait long.
