Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will officially appear on November 14, 2025 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/s and Xbox One. Fans who want to try the game earlier can participate in an open beta from 5 to 8 October. Those who pre-order the game even get access via the Early Access Beta from 2 to 5 October.
Activision recently warned PC gamers that they cannot play the beta and release if TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are not enabled. As with competitor Battlefield 6, these functions are obliged to prevent cheating and to block modified hardware or unauthorized software.
