Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Beta Reveals Huge Change PS5 and Xbox Players Won't Like

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I’ve seen the evolution of aim assist in multiplayer games like Call of Duty. From a casual player’s perspective, it was always a welcome feature that leveled the playing field between controller and mouse-and-keyboard users. However, as someone who’s spent countless hours honing my controller skills, I can’t help but feel a tad apprehensive about the recent aim assist changes in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.


The beta version of “Call of Duty: Black Ops 6,” particularly the early access multiplayer beta, is now accessible across all platforms for those who have pre-ordered the game or are Xbox Game Pass subscribers. This closed beta will continue until September 4, providing fans of Call of Duty (COD) with an opportunity to try out the game before the open beta starts on September 6 and runs through September 9.

When gamers power up the latest iteration of the Black Ops series on their PCs, PS4s, PS5s, Xbox Ones, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X consoles, they’re discovering modifications from previous games. However, one significant alteration might rub console users or keyboard-and-mouse PC players the wrong way.

A key team member at Treyarch, the creators behind Black Ops 6, has disclosed that they’ve adjusted the aim assist functionality to maintain fairness among all players. This information originates directly from Matt Scronce on the official Treyarch community platform.

The developer disclosed that certain adjustments have been implemented. Specifically, the type of aim assist has been eliminated to ensure fairness for all players. More information about these changes will be shared shortly.

Of course, this change is going to prove quite popular with mouse and keyboard players, or those begrudgingly using a controller because of aim assist, but for console players this could disrupt the balance between them and PC players using a mouse and keyboard when cross-play is on. More than this, this could have substantial impacts on the competitive scene.

Before gamers can play the game extensively, it’s uncertain how many changes there are and whether top-tier controller users need to worry. However, Scronce assures us that further information will be shared soon, so we won’t have to wait much longer for a clearer picture.
