When is the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 campaign early access, and how can you play?
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will offer early campaign access to players starting Friday, October 16, 2026. This early access period provides an exclusive opportunity for fans to experience the single-player campaign before the full game’s official launch.
The campaign will be accessible across multiple platforms, demonstrating the franchise’s broad reach. Players can access the early campaign on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC via Steam and Battle.net, Xbox on PC, and Nintendo Switch. This comprehensive multi-platform rollout ensures that players across different ecosystems can participate in the early access period.
During the early access window, only the campaign will be available for play. Multiplayer modes and other game content will remain unavailable until the full game’s official release. This limited availability follows previous beta weekends that allowed players to test other aspects of the game.
The October 16 start date positions the campaign early access as a significant milestone in the game’s release schedule, offering players a substantial preview window before the complete package becomes available. By limiting early access to the campaign only, developers can control the player experience and gather feedback on the single-player content before a broader audience gains access to all game modes.
