Update:Xbox One Black Ops 3 Beta Problems Frustrate Users

After wrapping up a week of the PS4 beta, the Xbox One Black Ops 3 beta starts in a few hours along with the PC version. The official word is that the Xbox One Black Ops 3 beta download codes will start rolling out at 12:01 AM Pacific or 3:01 AM Eastern on August 26th, but gamers are counting on an early arrival of codes like we saw with the PS4 beta.

Even if you get your Xbox One Black Ops 3 beta download codes this evening you should not expect to play right away. The 12-15GB download will take some time and you may need to download a patch on top of the main download. The PS4 beta download took over six hours on a fast home connection, and the Xbox One Black Ops 3 beta download may take just as long during the first hours when the server is hammered.

Although Treyarch did not yet offer an estimated time, David Vonderhaar recently stated that the team is doing system checks and is focused on the release at this moment.

Here is how to download the Xbox One Black Ops 3 beta and start playing as soon as the codes arrive.
