Modern Warfare 4 Campaign Early Access

While Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is set for release on October 23, there is a chance to plat it early, though it’ll only be the campaign.

Same as in some past Call of Duty titles, Activision will have an early access period for the campaign.

For the multiplayer, expect it to be available on October 23, as that’s when the servers will be available for everyone to jump in.

Modern Warfare 4 Early Access Confirmed a Week Before Launch

Players will be able to play the cam[aign on Friday, October 16, if they pre-order or pre-purchase Modern Warfare 4.

This applies to those pre-ordering or pre-purchasing the Standard Digital Edition or Vault Edition of the game on XBOX Series X|S, XBOX on PC, PlayStation® 5, Battle.net, Steam, and Nintendo®Switch 2.

Plot Synopsis for Modern Warfare 4:

No Line Holds Forever

In the Modern Warfare 4 Campaign, you fight as Private Park, a young South Korean soldier facing live combat for the first time alongside his squad. What begins as a routine mission descends into chaos when North Korea launches a full-scale invasion, forcing Park and his unit into a desperate battle through collapsing cities and counteroffensives.

Beyond the front lines, operator-turned-outlaw Captain Price is operating outside the system he once served. A hunt for revenge draws Price toward a weapon powerful enough to shift the balance of power, setting in motion a conflict far greater than he ever anticipated. Forced into uneasy alliances and off-book operations, Price is pulled deeper into consequences he can no longer escape.

From large-scale battles and covert missions to combined-arms warfare and cinematic set pieces, the campaign delivers grounded combat and gameplay variety across a war that spreads far beyond the front lines.

Modern Warfare 4 will be available in full on October 23 on the PS5, Xox Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC.
