Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer beta launches

Early access now available to PS4 pre-order customers

Activision has launched the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer beta on PS4.

Early access is currently available to PS4 pre-order customers, ahead of an open test on Sony’s console from September 14-16, and cross-play testing on PS4, Xbox One and PC later this month.

Activision says the beta tests will feature a regularly updated roster of maps, playlists, “other content drops” and “surprises”.

PlayStation 4 Exclusive Beta

September 12 -13 (Early Access, PlayStation 4)

September 14 – 16 (Open Beta, PlayStation 4)

Beta featuring crossplay testing

September 19 – 20 (Early Access, PC and Xbox One; Open Beta, PlayStation 4)

The publisher detailed Modern Warfare’s multiplayer component in August. It will support over 100 players, although there’s no confirmation of a battle royale mode yet.

For the first time in the series PC and console players will be able to play together online via cross-platform play, while the game will ditch the franchise’s traditional season pass “in order to deliver a greater mix of more free maps, content and community events post-launch”.

A Call of Duty: Modern Warfare alpha test was held in August, offering participants the chance to try out the game’s new 2v2 Gunfight mode.

During a recent earnings call, Activision chief operating officer Coddy Johnson said the company has a number of surprises in store for the “breathtaking” Modern Warfare, “including the largest post-launch content pipeline in franchise history”.

The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare release date is October 25, 2019. The game’s available to pre-order from Amazon, Best Buy and Game, among other retailers.
