Activision has confirmed that Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is coming out on October 28, 2022.

Developers Infinity Ward has also revealed what platforms will be supported, with MW2 scheduled to arrive on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC Battle.net, and PC Steam.
Steam is a big change from years past, allowing fans to play across different PC platforms together. Infinity Ward is also planning the launch of Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 during the same year; however, no set release time has been shared for when this will happen.
Will There Be A Modern Warfare 2 Open Beta?
Like years past, 2022’s Call of Duty release will include an open beta that will focus on multiplayer testing. Activision has confirmed that those players who pre-order certain versions of the game will get early access to the Modern Warfare 2 beta, which has not been given a schedule yet.
A message from Activision adds: “Regardless of how you preorder Modern Warfare II, every digital and physical edition of the game will include early access to the game’s Beta. This pre-release version of the game will give you an advanced look into the game’s Multiplayer, including maps, modes, weapons, and other features. Specific dates and details will be revealed in the coming weeks.”
