Did you receive a set of codes to access the Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 multiplayer beta on the Xbox One but they can't be redeemed due to the Xbox Live error confirmed by Treyarch and Microsoft? Fortunately for you, a simple workaround has been uncovered and it allows anyone with a code to register the trial and start downloading it on the Xbox One.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is set to launch this November, and after revealing all sorts of different gameplay videos, screenshots, as well as an array of details, developer Treyarch kicked off the beta stage for the game's multiplayer mode.

The beta took place last week on the PS4 platform, as part of the new timed exclusivity deal between Sony and publisher Activision, and it's already gone live on the PC and Xbox One platforms earlier today.

A solution to the Xbox One Black Ops 3 beta code redemption issues is here

While the rollout of the test phase on the PC, via Valve's Steam service, didn't encounter any issues, on the Xbox One, things are much worse.

As confirmed by Treyarch and Microsoft, fans who pre-ordered Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 on the Xbox One and received their access codes into the beta can't redeem them on the official Xbox website. As such, they're unable to download the actual beta from the Xbox Live online service.

Fortunately for them, fans on Reddit have uncovered a very simple workaround that's apparently a universal solution to the code redemption issues.

You just have to go to the Xbox.com website, and check the bottom of the page for a grey bar with a link to "Change Locale." It should display your current country but you need to change it to Brazil. Afterwards, go to the code redemption page and introduce one of the codes you received from Treyarch and Activision. The redemption should go through and your account will have access to the beta on the Xbox Live service.

Don't forget to change the country back to your original setting, unless you want the website in Brazilian Portuguese.
