The Beta test for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout has now been extended to 12 PM PST for Monday, September 17th and the player count for matches has been increased to 100 on all platforms to the delight of fans. The announcement was teased earlier a half hour earlier by Treyarch when the development studio asked on its Twitter account asking what would the community think if they brought more friends to fight a tad longer. 

What if we brought a dozen more of our friends to the fight for just a little longer...?

Treyarch had originally planned to have the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout Beta end at 10 AM PST on Monday, September 17th. However, it looks as though the development studio decided that it would make on final push to test the limits of the highly praised battle royale game mode for a couple of more hours and turn up the player count to 100 players. 

This is the second player count increase that the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout Beta has seen throughout its week long testing period on the platforms of Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC. Originally only 80 players were battling in matches when the testing period first began, but Treyarch increased this player count size to 88 in a following update.

Now, Treyarch, via its official Twitter account, has ramped up the number of players that will fight for victory in Blackout matches to 100, which fits with the player counts of the competitors that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will face in the battle royale genre in Fortnite and Player Unknown's Battlegrounds. Players will also have until 12 PM PST to test out how 100 player matches feel in the newcomer to the battle royale genre.
