Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Open Beta Confirmed, And You Can Get In Early

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 was officially announced today, and it'll be releasing in October. Prior to its full launch, however, the game will have an open beta, and as per usual, you're going to have an opportunity to get in early.

The open beta was confirmed via a post on the official Call of Duty blog, but Activision went short of saying exactly when the beta will be. In the past, beta tests have been held several weeks before launch, which would put the window here at sometime in September or very early October.

If you want to play even earlier than that date, you can preorder Modern Warfare 4 for open-beta early access. The open beta will run for at least two days, and because Modern Warfare 4 is not going to be on Game Pass at launch, preordering it is likely necessary to play early.

The full version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launches on October 23 for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and PC. Multiplayer will include a number of new and updated modes, including a 10-on-10 version of Gun Game. The campaign, meanwhile, will feature of a mix of legacy characters like Captain Price alongside low-level "grunts" in a renewed Korean War.
