Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta period flyer

The Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta period has been announced for Playstation 4. Treyarch confirmed rumours about the beta coming to PS4 on August 19. Now, the developer has confirmed that the Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta will launch on August 19 exclusively for PS4 and end five days later on August 23. There’s no word yet on the beta for Xbox One and PC.

According to Call Of Duty news site Charlie Intel, marketing material has confirmed the beta dates. A flyer was distributed to fans who participated in the Black Ops 3 Zombies Escape Room Challenge at Comic-Con in San Diego. The flyer offered a free 30-day Playstation Plus trial and showed a lot of Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 branding. The flyer also showed that the beta would go from August 19 to August 23.

Although Treyarch has confirmed that there will be a Black Ops 3 beta for Xbox One and PC, they haven’t announced any details about when those will be. Treyarch announced its deal with Sony at this year’s E3, saying that the Playstation version of the game would receive updates and DLC before other consoles. It’s a similar deal to what Treyarch used to have with Microsoft and the Xbox, but for whatever reason, they moved on to Sony.

You can get access to the Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta by pre-ordering the game through the Playstation Store, Xbox Live Store, or other participating retail stores (which vary by region). To incentivise eager fans, Treyarch has said each retailer will have a limited number of beta codes, so it’s important to get in early. Those pre-ordering the game at retail will be given a code on their purchase receipt or via email, while those buying digitally won’t need a code as the beta will be included automatically on their console. Information about which editions can be pre-ordered in which region can be found here.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
