How to install the Black Ops 3 Beta – Problem resolved

Yesterday the beta for Black Ops 3 on Xbox One and PC went live but sadly right as it did the ability to redeem your code on Xbox One to download it died.

We are happy to now report that the issue has now been resolved. Below are the details on how to redeem your code and the appropriate links you need.

If you are experiencing issues with the beta freezing once you have downloaded it, give THIS fix a try as it is resolving the issue for most.

 

To active on the Xbox One:

If you pre-ordered your copy of Black Ops 3 via a retailer you were emailed a code which you need to enter into the Call of Duty website redeem code page.

From there you will receive an email which contains 3 beta codes, one for you and two to give out to two friends. These codes are being emailed out in waves so if you haven’t received yours yet just sit tight because it’s on the way.

Simple enter your code via ‘Redeem Code’ on your Xbox One or go to the Xbox Live website and redeem it there.

If you still do not receive your email by later today and are becoming uncertain if you activated your code correctly you can check if you are registered via the Call of Duty Website.

If you pre-ordered Black Ops 3 digitally via the Xbox One store you can start downloading via your Xbox One now, no codes needed.

Be sure to have at least 13.73 GB of space free as that is the size of the beta.

 

For those on PC:

If you pre-ordered via a retailer codes are being sent out via email now so be sure to check your inbox.

If you pre-ordered via Steam you should be able to see the beta there in your library, if it has not appeared there yet, simply check back shortly.

The size of the beta for PC is a 13.1GB.

You should also be aware that if you are playing the beta on PC that the Paint Shop feature is not available during the beta however it will be in in the final version of the game.
