The Black Ops 7 Beta has officially gone live with an exciting Twitch Drops campaign, inviting players to earn in-game rewards by simply watching partnered streamers. This limited-time event started during the first weekend of October 2025 and is available to Xbox, PlayStation, and PC users.

Players linking their Call of Duty and Twitch accounts can earn cosmetic items, weapon charms, and calling cards after watching select streams for set durations. The initiative aims to boost community engagement ahead of the game’s full release later this year.

Patch Updates and New Features

According to the latest patch notes, developers have focused on refining the beta experience with smoother lobby matchmaking, weapon balance adjustments, and updated UI for inventory management. A new “Strike Ops” mode has also been added, offering smaller maps and tighter tactical play.

• Improved matchmaking for all regions
• Weapon recoil adjustments for assault rifles
• UI updates for in-game loadouts
• Performance fixes on older Xbox consoles
