After a series of major leaks, Black Ops 6‘s multiplayer build has finally been removed from the PS4 database, but that doesn’t mean the reveals are going to stop.

On August 3, an early build of Black Ops 6 multiplayer was added to the backend of the PlayStation 4 store, thought to be the beta version due to release on August 25. Leakers and dataminers were quickly able to download the file, which led to plenty of footage being posted online.

The clips revealed everything from the lineup of maps and weapons, to all the Perks and even a new Warzone map.

But after nearly an entire week of details being posted on social media, the game was removed from the PS4 database on August 8. This prevents any new players with jailbroken consoles accessing the build, in an effort to finally plug the leaks.

However, although no one new will be able to get into the beta build, those who have already downloaded it can continue using it for now. Insider Gaming reported that just one Discord server had hundreds of users playing it on August 7, and there is currently nothing stopping them from poking around and discovering more features.

With all this in mind, don’t be surprised to see even more leaks emerge in the weeks leading up to the official beta at the end of August.

The videos that emerged have led to some concerns among players, with many commenting that the gameplay looks “rough” from a graphical point of view. But it’s worth keeping in mind that it’s all been from a last-gen version of Black Ops 6, rather than PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC.

Luckily, we’ll be getting an official look at Black Ops 6 on August 25 at CoD Next, where even more details about multiplayer, Zombies, and the campaign are set to be announced.
