Black Ops 7 Beta Opens With Access Glitches and Early Cheaters as Treyarch Pledges Fixes

The early access test serves as a live shakedown for servers plus anti‑cheat ahead of November, with RICOCHET upgrades scaling during the beta before fully activating at launch.

Overview

  • Early access began on October 2 at 10am PT, the open beta starts October 5, and the full release is set for November 14.
  • Many players are seeing a "You don't have access to the content" error despite valid eligibility, with reported workarounds including joining a friend's lobby or fully restarting the client.
  • Cheating clips showing aimbots and wallhacks surfaced within hours despite TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot on PC, as Activision tests machine‑learning RICOCHET detections during the beta ahead of full upgrades at launch.
  • Treyarch leaders say they are closely watching feedback during the beta, citing recent perk distribution adjustments and promising further tuning into launch and post‑launch.
  • A limited Zombies Survival slice on the Vandorn Farm map goes live October 3 in the beta, alongside core 6v6 maps, new modes, and transferable participation rewards.
