Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 open beta extended just as new map goes live

Activision and Treyarch are in the middle of the open beta of the latest Call of Duty game, Black Ops 7, and with days left to go on its counter, the companies have decided to give players even more time with the game. Announced today as a part of its daily updates to the beta, an extra day is being added to the open beta for players to keep experiencing the multiplayer and zombie mayhem for free.

With the 24 hours of extra play, the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 open beta will now be ending on Thursday, October 9, at 9am PT instead. As for why the change, Treyarch said that this was due to fan requests regarding an extended beta.

"The reaction to the Black Ops 7 Beta so far has been awesome to see," said the development team in its official blog today. "Whether you’re calling in Nukes in Multiplayer or going for high rounds in Zombies Survival, there’s plenty to jump into and we've had a ton of fun playing alongside everyone. On behalf of all of us at Treyarch, we’re truly grateful for your feedback so far."

Today also marks as the day the beta is gaining another new map. Dubbed Toshin, the 6vs6 multiplayer map is set in Japan, letting players fight it out in a downtown shopping district lit up by advertisements. "Explore the park and market streets around the wreckage and fight through the transit station in a tightknit urban layout that rewards exploration and quick thinking," said the studio, describing the arena.

This bumps up the available multiplayer maps in the Black Ops 7 open beta to six, while Vandorn Farm remains the sole Zombies experience. Treyarch is also keeping the current 2XP and 2X Weapon XP benefits live through the rest of the beta too, as it wants players to hit level 30 and try out all the weapons, attachments, gear, and overclocks available.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is releasing on November 14, 2025, across PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. It will also be available on Game Pass Ultimate on day one.
