Call of Duty Infinite Warfare beta is now open to all PS4 owners
Infinite Warfare’s second multiplayer beta period is open to all PS4 players, Infinity Ward has confirmed.
Unfortunately, for those playing on Xbox One, they will need to have pre-ordered the game to gain access during the upcoming weekend.
The first beta period, which took place between October 14-18, was exclusive to PS4 pre-order customers and those lucky enough to find a code.
“Thank you to the awesome Call of Duty community and your response to the Beta. We’ve been watching players experiment with different Rigs, all unique to their play styles, and dig into our new weapon crafting system. We’ve also introduced a new matchmaking system to provide the highest quality matches possible, which the Beta has helped us optimize for launch,” said Joe Cecot, Lead Multiplayer Designer at Infinity Ward.
“The feedback and player data is exactly what we need in order to make our day one experience on November 4 the best it can be in the final game. So much so that we’d like to open the beta up even further starting this Friday for all PS4 players. We are constantly fine tuning and balancing the MP experience to meet player expectations and our design goals, so huge thanks from all of us at the studio.”

The multiplayer beta will be available to pre-load on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace ahead of its start time of 6PM BST on Friday, October 21.
Beta access and multiplayer maps used to always come first to Xbox prior to the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, when Sony snapped up the exclusivity deal previously held by Microsoft.
