Activision has revealed the details for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s open beta, and where the Nintendo Switch 2 comes in.
For starters, these are the periods for the open beta:
- Weekend One (Early Access Beta) – August 21 to 25
- Weekend Two (Open Beta) – August 28 to September 1
Pre-orders are only starting for Switch 2 owners this coming August 26. Subsequently, this means Switch 2 gamers can only join the second weekend open beta, since they can’t pre-order before the first weekend.
The Early Access Beta will be available to everyone who pre-orders on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Of course, as we already know, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners are no longer getting the game.
We can only speculate why Switch 2 owners lost out on the 1st beta week, but it’s probably not a ‘punishment’ if it feels like it. It’s more likely that Activision needs more preparation to deliver their game to Switch 2 players.
Hopefully, it this release and beta goes smoothly, Activision will be able to give Switch 2 owners parity for future Call of Duty games.
