Microsoft And Activision Working To Address Dead Black Ops III Beta Codes
If you’re having trouble redeeming your Call of Duty: Black Ops III beta code, you are not alone. It seems that a number of users have found their codes to be dead on arrival.
The responsibility for the fix seems to rest with Microsoft, as Xbox Support and Activision have both shared updates via Twitter to that effect.
We're aware of the issues you might be seeing with your Black Ops 3 beta codes. We're looking into it now: http://t.co/PzAdjUFMJj

We’ll keep an eye on things and let you know when the duo announce how they’ll be addressing this issue. Stay tuned.

Our Take
With enough dead codes to warrant addressing this, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Xbox beta was opened up quickly. That would alleviate the need for codes entirely.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
