Black Ops 6 Early Access Beta Code Redeemed But Still Shows “Pre-Order” Required Reports Acknowledged by Activision

Those who either pre-ordered or received a Black Ops 6 early access beta code and redeemed it may have noticed that the in-game menu was still telling you to pre-order the title. Worry not, as this appears to be a bug, with Activision acknowledging it and confirming that players won’t have to worry this beta weekend. 

In an update on the official Black Ops 6 beta Trello board, the studio confirmed that the “pre-order” text appearing in the beta is indeed a bug. 

Thank you for your reports!

Players who have redeemed a code or already digitally pre-purchased/pre-ordered for Open Beta Early Access (Weekend 1) are set and no additional actions are necessary to access the Open Beta.

Make sure that your Call of Duty application is up to date to preload, and we will see you online at 10 am/PT on Friday, August 30th!

Players who previously redeemed their code, or pre-ordered Black Ops 6 were facing an issue upon booting into the Call of Duty HQ App, with it requesting players to pre-order to gain access to the beta. 

Good thing, as we ourselves, we also experienced the issue, thinking to ourselves, “Didn’t we just redeem our code?” Thankfully it’s just a bug, one that is expected to disappear once the beta goes live tomorrow.

As a reminder, for those who participate in any of the beta weekends, there will be some earnable rewards that’ll transfer into the full release. For more details on what you can earn, refer to our Call of Duty Black Ops 6 beta rewards post.
