Call of Duty: Black Ops III beta surprise for PC players

You don't have to have pre-ordered the game to access the beta.
Mike Holmes 26 August 2015

We're currently downloading the PC beta of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, this despite us not pre-ordering the game. Those of you out there that have previously purchased Advanced Warfare, Ghosts or Black Ops 2 will also find that they have beta access via their Steam accounts.

The shooter was in beta over on PS4 last week, and it's now rolling out on PC and Xbox One (although a few technical issues on the Xbox version are stopping some people from getting online). The beta is currently invite-only, although it should open up to the masses for the final round of stress testing over the weekend.

While you wait for the beta to download, or if you're not getting on before the weekend, you can head this way for several hours of Call of Duty gameplay filmed during last week's PlayStation 4 beta, where we were among the first in the world to get our hands on Treyarch's shooter ahead of its public release.
