Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3: How to Access the Open Beta Early
2023's Call of Duty will be in the form of Modern Warfare III, acting as a direct sequel to last year's Modern Warfare II. With a brand new campaign, multiplayer experience, and more. Activision is hosting an Open Beta across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC (PlayStation owners get first access), starting this Friday, October 6. The beta will feature 5 of the 16 remastered launch maps from the 2009 Modern Warfare 2, with the full game including the entire collection upon release, on November 10.
PlayStation users will get early access to the Open Beta on October 6-7 if they preorder the game through any retailer. The associated retailer will then email you a code for you to redeem with Activision. For more info on preorders, be sure to visit our full MW3 preorder guide to find out what's included with each edition.
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 finalizes if you don't like the game, at no cost.
October 6-7: PlayStation users who preorder (early access)
October 8-10: All PlayStation users
October 12-13: PC and Xbox users who preorder, plus all PlayStation members
October 14-16: Open beta for everyone, on all platforms
Here's how you can redeem that handy new Modern Warfare 3 Beta code you've just received. Follow the steps below, and you'll be ready to play on Friday, October 6.
(If you've preordered digitally, the Beta will already be available to you; just search for the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Open Beta on the relevant digital storefront, and download it.)
