Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Lets Preorders Play Campaign One Week Early

Activision’s move restores a past preorder perk and raises the chance of early spoilers for the October launch.

Overview

  • Activision and Infinity Ward confirmed on June 12 that players who preorder Modern Warfare 4 will get digital campaign access starting October 16, one week before the full release.
  • The full game, which includes multiplayer and an expanded DMZ extraction mode, is scheduled to launch on October 23 across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
  • The single‑player campaign shifts to the Korean Peninsula where you play as Private Park while longtime character Captain Price returns as an operator‑turned‑outlaw driven by revenge.
  • Preorders are live now for PC, PS5, and Xbox with Nintendo Switch 2 preorders set to open later in the year; preorder buyers will also gain early beta access when that test period begins.
  • The return of campaign early access follows its use in earlier Modern Warfare titles and signals a marketing pivot back to traditional preorder incentives that could accelerate spoiler circulation before launch.
