Xbox players had to be patient during the first week of the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta, as the trial period’s initial week was exclusive to PlayStation users. With the Black Ops Cold War beta finally coming to other platforms this week, Xbox fans are now having issues starting it up.
This is not the first problem the new Call of Duty game’s beta has had, as Black Ops Cold War is plagued by cheaters due to its release on PC. While the aimbot issues have certainly become frustrating within online matches, users not being able to download the beta at all is a bit more of an issue. Hopefully, Activision gets on this quick, as players have taken to Twitter to voice their frustrations.
One of the players missing out on the Black Ops Cold War beta and its hidden Nuketown Easter egg goes by Tylo on Twitter. The user states that, upon launching the Black Ops Cold War beta on Xbox, the menu is telling them that “in order to play the game, I must own it.” Tylo goes on to say share their confusion, stating that they “thought the beta was free.”
A response to the tweet from xXMyManRayXx confirms that the Black Ops Cold War beta should be free as it has entered its open weekend, also warning Tylo that they “may have issues with the game crashing” if they are playing on the original Xbox One. Many other players are having issues even downloading the game, however, with Xbox player Shawn Savoie saying that they “can’t find the Black Ops Cold War beta” in the Xbox One’s store.
Thankfully, it appears Xbox players have been provided with a workaround via CoD news site Charlie Intel. It seems like the beta can be downloaded via the Microsoft Store website despite the issues being had with the Xbox One store. Further, Twitter user Jordan has claimed that the Xbox mobile app allows the beta to be downloaded as well. With the fix working for many users replying to the tweet, it should do the trick for other Call of Duty fans on the Xbox platform too. When fans finally get the game downloaded, however, they may want to watch out for campers in the bushes on Black Ops Cold War’s cartel map.
For players in need of a laugh after all the Black Ops Cold War download issues, they may want to look around the map Miami once the beta is on their system. A quick glance at Black Ops Cold War’s inappropriate map design should put a smile on the face of even the most frustrated CoD player.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will be available on November 13th for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
