Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is fast approaching its release date of November 10, but leading up to that you can play the early access beta this coming weekend, and you have a chance to win a code from Android Headlines.
You can gain early access to the beta if you pre-order the game. But if you aren’t going to pre-order or you wanted to hold off, this is a good chance to test things before the open beta the following weekend. Why not just wait for the open beta? Well, you can totally do that. And there’s nothing wrong with doing that if you simply don’t have the time to devote to the beta in the next few days. Here’s the thing, if you do have the time, you’ll want to play early.
Not only will this give you an advance on knowing how the game plays, but how weapons feel. Which might just give you an edge later on. And there are likely rewards to be had. Just like with the Modern Warfare II beta back in 2022. During that beta period players were able to earn a handful of different rewards just by playing and completing certain challenges. Rewards included an emblem, a calling card, a weapon blueprint and more. And Activision could be doing that again this year. So, the more time you have to play, the better your chances of getting everything unlocked if there’s anything there to be earned.
When does the Modern Warfare III early access beta start?
The early access beta will begin this week, one day after the Call of Duty: Next event that takes place on October 5. So that means on October 6 you’ll be able to jump in and experience the multiplayer for the game. Since this is early access, only people with these codes and people who pre-ordered will be able to log in. All the more reason to try your hand at getting one of these codes. Not all platforms will have access at the same time though. So here’s how things will play out.
PlayStation players will get access first beginning October 6. The beta will last through October 7 for early access, then on October 8 it opens up for all PlayStation players. This is when those who want to play on PS4 or PS5 will be able to hop on without having pre-ordered the game.
The following week opens up access for Xbox and PC players. On October 12 and through October 13, anyone who pre-ordered the game will get early access to the beta, while PlayStation players will have continued access on these dates. Finally, the open beta for all platforms begins on October 14 and will end on October 16.
How can I win an early access beta code?
First up, we have a limited amount of codes to give out. In total about 35 codes for early access to the beta. This means you can redeem a code and you can access the beta early with regards to your chosen platform. Without having to pre-order the game. To win a code, all you have to do is find this post shared on our socials (Twitter(X) or Threads), and interact with us there. We will hand out 10 codes per hour beginning at 6PM Pacific Standard Time on October 3 until all codes have been given out.
How can I redeem my Modern Warfare III beta code?
If you end up getting a code you can redeem it at www.callofduty.com/betaredeem. Codes are platform agnostic, so you can choose which platform you want access to the beta for. You can also choose which region you’re in. So these codes are not just for US players. The beta is open to all regions where the game will be sold.
Upon heading to the above website, you’ll need to login to your Call of Duty account. Then select your platform and region, then enter the code. After entering the code you should see a message that says you were successful. The success page will also confirm that you are registered for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Open Beta.
Beta installation codes will be sent out closer to the beta date
One last bit of important information worth noting is that the beta codes are only used for granting you access. The code for installing the beta will be sent out to players closer to the beta date. So keep an eye on your email inbox for emails from the Activision/Call of Duty teams.
