Call of Duty: Modern Warfare beta – How do I gain access?

You can gain access to the Modern Warfare beta by pre-ordering any version of the game, regardless of whether its digital or physical. You’ll able to jump into the early access period on your respective platform and the open beta once it commences alongside other players.

As we said before, PS4 owners have their own private weekend to enjoy. So if you want as much time with the game as possible, we’d opt for that version. During relevant beta periods, crossplay will be available between consoles and PC, which is a first for the series. Unfortunately, your progress won’t carry over to the full experience.
