It Looks Like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is Going to Be a Much Bigger Hit Than MW3

Some early statistics may suggest that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to be a much bigger success than Modern Warfare 3 has been.

Reddit user ZombieRaay leaked the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 steelbook pre-order bonus from GameStop, revealing the case's front and back covers. While supplies last, players will receive this physical bonus by pre-ordering Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at participating GameStop locations. The front cover depicts the returning Russell Adler from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, while the back cover depicts Black Ops 6's Troy Marshall, the game's protagonist and Frank Woods' protégé. Thus far, Call of Duty fans on Reddit appear to be happy with the pre-order bonus, but some hope that there's enough supply of the new steelbook case to go around for customers.

Moreover, physical and digital pre-orders will include early access to the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 open beta, which doesn't have a confirmed start date yet. Physical pre-orders from GameStop will include a beta code that customers may redeem to claim their spot in the early access open beta. Xbox Game Pass subscriptions, such as Game Pass PC and Game Pass Console, also include early access to the open beta. Further, the open beta will be made available to players for free on all platforms at a later date, similar to Modern Warfare 3's open beta from last year.

More information about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be revealed at the Call of Duty NEXT event this August, and it's possible that the dates for the open beta will be revealed at this event. During the event, Call of Duty fans can also expect news about upcoming updates coming to Call of Duty: Warzone around the time of Black Ops 6's launch in October.
