Reliable CoD insider Ralph Valve claims to have received the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta dates, and they’re happening in September as they often do. Oh, and yes, as usual, PlayStation owners still get early access despite the pending sale of Activision to Microsoft. Check out the beta dates, below. The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Beta Dates Weekend 1 (PlayStation Exclusive)
Early Access (for those who pre-order): September 15th – 16th Open Beta: September 17th – 19th
Weekend 2 (Cross-play Beta)
Early Access (for those who pre-order): September 22nd – 23rd Open Beta: September 24th – 26th
While the Modern Warfare 2 beta won’t arrive until September, Ralph Valve claims there will still be things to look forward to in August, including a new look at gameplay and perhaps a “few surprises.” It’s likely one of those surprises will be the game’s heavily-rumored “DMZ” sandbox mode. Of course, take this with a grain of salt for now, but again, Ralph has a pretty solid CoD track record. Activision Blizzard has faced a series of lawsuits and other legal action on the heels of a suit filed by California’s Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) alleging widespread gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment at the Call of Duty publisher. You can get more details on that unfolding story here. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 arrives on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5 on October 28.
