How to play Modern Warfare 3 Beta in early access
To gain early access to the Modern Warfare 3 beta, you’ll need to pre-order the game, regardless of your platform. If you’re a PlayStation user aiming for the first beta weekend, which is exclusive to PlayStation, you’ll also need to pre-order the MW3 specifically on that platform. No special editions are required; the base game or the Vault Edition will suffice for beta access. You cannot preorder an Xbox or PC and get into the PlayStation early access Beta.
But a preorder isn’t mandatory to play the MW3 Beta at all; it’s only for you if you want to play it early. Both weekends have an Open Beta where all players can join in, PlayStation exclusive first weekend, and all platforms the second weekend—Xbox, PlayStation, and PC.
How to get Modern Warfare 3 Beta codes
For those who’ve opted for a digital pre-order of Modern Warfare 3, you’re in luck—you’re automatically enrolled for early access to all Beta periods. As soon as the early access phase kicks off, you can download the Beta without needing any additional codes.
On the flip side, if you’ve pre-ordered a physical copy of Modern Warfare 3 from a retail store, you’ll need a Beta code to join the early access. This code should either be emailed to you or provided on your physical receipt. If you find yourself without a code, your next step should be to reach out to the retailer for assistance.
Don’t have a pre-order but still want in on the early access action? You can use a pre-order code from someone else, like a friend or family member who doesn’t intend to use theirs.
Additionally, keep an eye out for official promotions that offer a chance to win a Modern Warfare 3 Beta code. For instance, Sledgehammer Games is currently running such a promotion on their Twitter/X account.
How to redeem Modern Warfare 3 Beta codes
To secure your spot in the Modern Warfare 3 early access Beta, you’ll first need to obtain an early access Beta code. Once you have it, go to the official MW3 redemption website and follow the on-screen instructions to redeem your code. Ensure you select the correct Platform. After successful redemption, you’ll be registered for early access and will receive an early access Beta Token via email before the Beta kicks off. Your Beta Tokens will not only be emailed to you but will also be available for retrieval on the official redemption website.

- Captain Price
- Ghost
- Warden
- Makarov
All Modern Warfare 3 Beta rewards
In the Modern Warfare 3 Beta, players have the opportunity to unlock a total of 10 exclusive rewards that will carry over to the full game.
