The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 beta early access has arrived, and with the huge popularity of the franchise combined with the specific Black Ops 7 beta start time, you may face some connectivity issues. Some of those issues could be down to your own PC, specifically whether it meets Activision’s requirements for anti-cheat protection. Luckily, we’ve got all of the information you need on how to turn on your PC’s secure boot if you’re struggling. However, there’s also every chance that the servers are struggling to cope with the influx of players and are facing instability, or emergency maintenance is underway. Fear not, we’ve got the latest on the Black Ops 7 server status so you can get back into the mix during the limited-time beta.
Is Black Ops 7 down?
The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 servers are currently down, as the beta has not yet begun. They will go live on Thursday, October 2, 2025 at 10AM PT / 1PM ET / 6PM BST for those with early access.
While any notifications around the server status will be posted on the Activision Support X page, these could be delayed while the developer addresses any issues. Formerly, any server issues had a dedicated page on the Activision website, but at the time of writing there’s no section yet for Black Ops 7. It’s unclear whether Activision intends to add one during the beta. Make sure to bookmark this page for up-to-date information.
