The PS4 Black Ops 3 Beta Broke Player Records
Treyarch Studios and Activision can rest easy. The Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 beta, which ran from August 19th through the 24th on Playstation 4, recorded a record number of downloads, gameplay sessions, and hours of play. The studio has not released a specific number, but promises it is “in the millions.”
“Played by millions of PlayStation fans around the world, the response to the beta was massive and shows the strength when bringing together the best-selling console franchise with the best-selling game console,” said Adam Boyes, executive at Sony, who naturally feels that the extra money required to get first dibs on Call of Duty Games has paid off. “Signaling an impressive start of a new era for PlayStation and this famed franchise, there was no better way to welcome Call of Duty to its new home on PlayStation 4.”
The PS4 has also played host to beta tests for Destiny and Battlefield Hardline, but Black Ops 3 received the biggest response by far.
If you missed the beta, or you miss the beta, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 hits retail in less than two months; it won’t be long now.
