PC players who have pre-ordered Black Ops 4 will gain access to the testing period on September 14th at 10 AM PST. An open beta for the Blackout battle royale game mode will go live for all PC players who have a Battle.net account to enjoy on September 15th at 10 AM PST. It is likely that the community will see the beta for the new Call of Duty game mode last throughout the weekend for the same manner that the multiplayer beta for the new Treyarch title lasted.
At the time of this writing, no information regarding when the Blackout beta for Black Ops 4 will be available for Xbox One players to play has been made available.
With Treyarch promising the best PC Call of Duty experience in Black Ops 4 through the work of a separate development studio in Beenox dedicated to working on the PC version of Black Ops 4 and the huge success that the battle royale titles of Fortnite Battle Royale and Player Unknown's Battlegrounds has seen on PC, the Blackout beta will likely see a great deal of PC players looking to see what the new entry in the popular first person shooter franchise has to offer fans of the last player surviving genre.
