How to access to the private multiplayer beta.
The only way to have access to the private multiplayer beta – order the game either at brick-and-mortar retailers or numerically. No doubt there will also be codes available for gifts (I'll see if I can scramble and give them on Twitter @erikkain .)
If you pre-order the game at a dealer You should receive a code directly from them that you can then redeem at www.callofduty.com/beta. You will receive another email later with instructions on how to download and play.
We do not know yet if there will be a pre-download available and to date, it seems that the beta tokens will be sent at 10 pm. August 3 for the first beta and 10 o'clock PT on August 10 for the second beta.
If you pre-ordered the game digitally on the PlayStation Store, Xbox One Store or Battle.net (the game does not come to Steam) you will simply be able to download the beta as soon as it will be available without code.
Note: It is possible that there is an alternative for the closed beta version of the PS4 allowing customers who have not pre-ordered. If so, we will post it here at Forbes Games

What other conditions are needed?
If you're there On PS4, you probably will not need a PlayStation Plus subscription for the closed beta. However, on Xbox One, you must be a subscriber to Xbox One Live Gold.
Other than that, as long as you have pre-ordered, you should be ready to go. With regard to the minimum PC requirements, this information still needs to be made public. If it is before the beta, I will update this post.
You will also need an internet connection and a bit of free space on the HD of your system, but there is still a lot to see.

Will these betas be open at any given time?
It's impossible to say, but last year Call of Duty: WWII ] used the same terminology "private beta" and remained closed for PS4 players and Xbox One. Sometimes, these betas open after the first few days, but at this point, we have no reason to think that Black Ops 4.
If you want to play without pre- order, PC is your best bet * unless a workaround is discovered for PS4. *
What content will be available during the beta?
There is actually a lot of content that arrives at Black Ops 4 multiplayer beta. Six cards, ten "specialists" and six game modes at least for beginners.
