Call of Duty Vanguard Multiplayer Beta Details:

Dates:

There are two weekends of the Vanguard Beta.* Internet access is required for both weekends of the Beta.**

Weekend 1: PlayStation® Early Access

Available to those who pre-ordered Call of Duty: Vanguard for PlayStation®5 or PlayStation®4, this first weekend will take place from Friday, September 10 at 10 AM PT to Monday, September 13 at 10 AM PT.

Digital pre-orders will be automatically registered for Early Access — those who pre-order a physical version may find their Early Access code on the retail receipt or sent via e-mail.** Early Access codes — given through physical pre-orders or through special promotions — can be redeemed at callofduty.com/betaredeem while logged into an Activision Account.

This Beta weekend will introduce the following samples of the full MP content:

• Three brand-new Vanguard maps: Hotel Royal, Red Star, and Gavutu.
• Three traditional game modes to try — Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Kill Confirmed — and a new one called Patrol, available during Weekend 1.
• A return to Champion Hill, now with a new weapon set.

Those who participate in the Beta and reach level 20 will receive a Weapon Blueprint for Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone (available in Vanguard following the game’s launch on November 5 and in Warzone when the new main map launches later this year). Also, those playing Call of Duty®: Mobile will receive an Arthur Kingsley Operator, available shortly after the end of the Beta.

Further intel about these rewards, and a deep dive into exact contents of the Beta, will be available here at the Call of Duty Blog later this week.

Weekend 2: Crossplay Beta

Depending on the platform, the start of Vanguard’s second Beta weekend — from Thursday, September 16 at 10 AM PT to Saturday, September 18 at 10 AM PT — is either an Open or Early Access Beta. More information to come next week.
