Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2: How to Access the Open Beta

ign.com:

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is hitting PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on October 28, 2022 with a brand new campaign and multiplayer mode. But, you don't have to wait until launch to play the game, as it will be getting a shiny new Open Beta before then.

The Open Beta will come in a few phases, will early access coming to those who preorder, and even earlier access for those on PS5 and PS4. We've got all the details you need about the upcoming Modern Warfare 2 beta, including how to access it, right here.

Preorders are now live for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, and there are a couple of different versions to choose from, so make sure you check out our full MW2 preorder guide before deciding. For now, here are some quick links if you just want to lock your preorder in ASAP.

Remember, you're getting early access to the Open Beta with your preorder, and you don't have to pay anything until the game ships in late October. So you could absolutely preorder, get a beta code, and then cancel your order after the beta finalises if you don't like the game at no cost.

We haven't yet got a confirmed date for the Open Beta, but that doesn't mean we can't speculate on when you can expect it. For starters, the Open Beta for MW2's predecessor, Modern Warfare, kicked off on September 19, 2019.

By comparison, Black Ops Cold War's Open Beta didn't take place until October 8 (but it had a late release date of November 15), while Vanguard's started on September 10 last year (with the full game releasing on November 5).

So, with Modern Warfare 2 releasing on October 28, our best guess is Modern Warfare 2's Open Beta will take place during September. But, this is pure speculation, and Activision could drop the Open Beta even sooner
