If you’re eager to try out Black Ops 7 for free, the upcoming Open Beta launching on October 5 is your best opportunity. However, there’s a chance to access it even earlier by earning a Black Ops 7 early access beta code through Twitch, with a little patience involved.

Here’s how you can obtain the Black Ops 7 early access code via Twitch.

Steps to Acquire the Black Ops 7 Early Access Open Beta Code

First, ensure you connect your Twitch account to your Activision account. Then, don’t forget to schedule the Call of Duty Next event on September 30 in your calendar.

To participate in the early access beta of Black Ops 7 using a free code, adhere to the following instructions:

1. On the day of the event, log into your Twitch account, making sure it is the one linked to your Activision account for gaming.
2. Watch the Call of Duty Next stream on September 30, starting at 11 AM CT. You can join either the official stream on the Call of Duty Twitch page or an authorized watch party. Look for the «Drops enabled» notice to confirm the stream is eligible.
3. Stay tuned for an hour to receive your early access beta code. Once you meet the viewing time, a notification will confirm you’ve earned a reward; open it to retrieve your code.

If the code doesn’t appear after an hour, remain calm. Twitch may take time to process rewards due to the high number of eligible viewers. It’s advisable to continue watching until you see the notification with your Black Ops 7 early access beta code, as it could take up to two hours–or occasionally longer–for the system to recognize your participation.

You can monitor your progress towards earning the early access beta code while watching the stream. Click on your profile icon on Twitch to view your progress percentage when engaged with an eligible stream. For further details, consider checking the Drops & Rewards section.

If you prefer not to deal with the Twitch drops, you can also opt to pre-order Black Ops 7 for early access to the Open Beta. Alternatively, you can simply wait for the Open Beta, which will be freely available to all starting October 5.

Linking Your Activision Account to Twitch

Connecting your Activision account to Twitch is essential in order to obtain the Black Ops 7 early access beta code for free. Follow these steps to link the accounts:

1. Sign in to your Activision account.
2. On your profile page, locate the Account Linking section; click the «Link account» button next to Twitch. This will direct you to the Twitch login.
3. Enter your Twitch credentials and approve the connection.

After completing these steps, your accounts will be successfully linked, allowing you to watch the event and earn your early access open beta code for Black Ops 7.
