According to an Amazon US listing, fans who pre-orderCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2for any platformbefore August 15 will receive early access to the Open Beta, with the codes being sent out on August 15 proper. All of this suggests that if Amazon’s listing is accurate, then the beta starts on August 15 for those who pre-order. At the time of this writing, Amazon has taken down its beta code blurb across every listing forModern Warfare 2; however, screenshots of the leak still exist online.
Neither Infinity Ward nor Activision has commented on the official release date of the upcomingModern Warfare 2beta, instead only disclosing that PlayStation will get the beta “at least five days” before Xbox and PC. Historically,Call of Dutyhas favored PlayStation for early beta access but has also opened its testing grounds much closer to the full game’s release.Call of Duty Vanguardheld its betas during the last two weekends in September, andBlack Ops Cold Warhad its beta in October, makingModern Warfare 2’s alleged mid-August testing a bit of an anomaly.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2launches on October 28 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
