Thanks to the code-breaking efforts of the Call of Duty community, players enjoying the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War open beta will see their playtime extended by 24 hours.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War went into beta across PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC this week, with crossplay enabled. After emails tempting players to solve a series of coded messages were sent out to over the weekend, the community banded together to tackle the puzzles. The reward was a one-day extension to the cross-platform beta, which means it will now close at 6pm UK time on 20th October, instead of the previously advertised 19th October.
"Thanks to the code-breaking efforts of our incredible community, an extra day of the #BlackOpsColdWar Beta has been unlocked!" the official Call of Duty Twitter account tweeted. "The Beta will now end on Oct 20th at 10am PT."
