Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is, without a doubt, one of the most highly anticipated games of 2024. With so much hype building up, Activision has decided to let athletes try out the game roughly 3 months before the final release.

Anthony Edwards, who made his Olympic debut in Paris as a part of Team USA, recently revealed on his social media account that he was lucky enough to try out Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 early in Paris.

It seems like Activision is approaching athletes at the Paris Olympics 2024 to promote the video game by letting them try it out early. Edwards is one of the lucky ones to try out the game roughly one month before the Open Beta Early Access.

This may seem rather odd for Activision to do this, but with eSports becoming a part of the Olympics in the future, it would make sense for the gaming industry to take its first steps onto the Olympic stage. and it was clearly a smart choice on behalf of Activision, as it has brought plenty of attention to the title.
