Activision and Infinity Ward have set the dates for the upcoming beta tests for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Players can jump into the action as early as August 21 if they pre-ordered the title. This early access window gives dedicated fans a head start before the broader community gains entry. The schedule matters because it defines when players can test the game's performance and features across multiple platforms.
Activision schedules open beta for all players on Switch 2 and PC
The Early Access beta runs from August 21 to 25 for users who pre-ordered the game. This phase is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC. It allows pre-order customers to experience the multiplayer components before the general public. The open beta follows immediately after, running from August 28 to September 1. This second phase opens to all players across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC. The inclusion of Switch 2 in the open beta highlights the game's broad platform support.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is scheduled for release on October 23. The game will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC. Players can purchase the game now on all platforms except Switch 2. Pre-orders for the Switch 2 version will open on August 26. The game will be available through Steam, Microsoft Store, and Battle.net. The October 23 launch date fits the standard autumn release pattern for major Call of Duty games.
