The Black Ops 6 beta is out and players are getting the chance to jump into the multiplayer action early. So here’s how to play Black Ops 6 Beta with Game Pass.

For the first time, Game Pass owners will be able to play Call of Duty for free (well, sort of – it’s included in the price of Game Pass). It means that players won’t need to pay the full price of this year’s Call of Duty and will lead to a higher population of players as a result.

If you’re running into a few issues with playing it via Game Pass and need some help, here’s what you need to do.

How To Play The Black Ops 6 Beta With Game Pass

If you’re wondering how to play the Black Ops 6 beta via Game Pass, you’re in lucky – we’re going to show you how as well as some common problems users are having.

First, you’ll want to install COD HQ. You can find this through the Xbox/Microsoft store.

When that is downloaded, find the Black Ops 6 beta tile and click it – this should download the files for this game. Jump back into the game and click the beta tile and you should be able to play – it’s that simple.

If you already had COD HQ installed, but are unable to play it, try to reinstall COD HQ and the beta files.

Something you should be aware of is the account you are using needs to have a Game Pass. That doesn’t mean a shared subscription, but the account you are playing on needs an active Game Pass subscription.
