Activision Offers Xbox 25th‑Anniversary Green M4 Skin That Only Xbox Players Can See

The Inner Circuit pre-order blueprint uses platform-determined visibility to promote Xbox pre-orders while keeping weapon performance identical.

Overview

  • Activision announced on Sept. 9 that players who digitally pre-order Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will receive the Inner Circuit M4 weapon blueprint as a pre-order bonus.
  • Xbox pre-orders unlock a translucent green, Xbox 25th‑anniversary visual for the M4 that is visible only to players on Xbox consoles while other platforms see a standard mil‑spec look.
  • Activision confirmed the two visual variants share the exact same attachments and in‑game performance so the skin provides no competitive advantage.
  • The Inner Circuit blueprint is listed with specific attachments including an 11.5" Shortline Barrel, FTAC Dominion Muzzle, FSS Fireline Grip, SZ Prima‑4 Dot Optic, and ZLR ASP50 Stock.
  • Modern Warfare 4 is set to launch on Oct. 23, 2026 across Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch 2 and will not arrive on Xbox Game Pass, which frames this cosmetic as part of pre-launch marketing aimed at platform sales.
