You don’t have to pre-order Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War to get a code to its upcoming beta on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. This week, Activision, Treyarch, and Raven Software fully revealed this year’s COD not only for the aforementioned platforms, but for PS5 and Xbox Series X as well. The trio also announced a pseudo open beta for the game, though details on it — including when it’s happening — are still unavailable. What they did reveal at the time is that it would be locked behind pre-ordering the game, except this isn’t entirely true.
