How to Download the PS4 Black Ops 3 Beta

Published

on

Activision and Treyarch are ready to let you play the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta with an early arrival of the Black Ops 3 beta token for many gamers. Here is how to download the PS4 Black Ops 3 beta right now, including where to find the Beta token and what you can do with the two extra PS4 Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta download codes.

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta starts now for the PlayStation 4, a full week before the Xbox One and PC version. Originally Activision told gamers that the beta would not start until codes rolled out in batches at 12:01 AM Pacific, or 3:01 AM Eastern, but this evening Activision and Treyarch started emailing out the PS4 Black Ops 3 download tokens that gamers need to start playing.

Even though the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta tokens are here, there are still many things you should not expect from the Black Ops 3 beta — like playing at midnight if you have a slow connection. The Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta download is 12.3GB on the PS4, plus an additional beta patch that downloads at the same time. On a fast home connection wired to our router the PS4 estimates a seven hour wait for the download to complete.

Here is how to download the PS4 Black Ops 3 beta and start playing without waiting until midnight, if your connection is fast enough and you are in the first wave of codes. We pre-ordered in late July and received our PS4 BLOPS 3 beta download tokens at 7 PM Eastern.

Where to Find Your PS4 Black Ops 3 Tokens

With your Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 pre-order you get three PS4 Black Ops 3 beta tokens, allowing you to download the beta and to invite two friends.

If you don’t see the email in your inbox, it might be in your spam folder. The email is from Call of Duty, [email protected], and the subject is Your Black Ops 3 Beta Token is Inside.

Search for this in the email you used to register for the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta. If you don’t have a code, make sure you registered for the beta on Activision.
