Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is out very soon but if you want to get it as early as possible you should check the times for when you can pre-load it.
Modern Warfare 2 is out on Friday, October 28 and promises to add a suite of new features to its multiplayer, ranging from aquatic combat to a third person mode.
On top of that, Activision has decided to roll out the game’s campaign mode a week earlier than usual, to give you more of an incentive to play the game’s single-player mode.
Modern Warfare pre-load dates for PS4, PS5 and Xbox
If you’ve already pre-ordered the game, but you’re not sure when each element drops, here you’ll find all the important dates and times for the upcoming launch.
An important point to note is that there’ll be a regional rollout for PlayStation and Xbox, while PC players will have a set time that the game releases, regardless of region.
Although there’s a lot of concern around the Call Of Duty franchise possibly becoming an Xbox exclusive, for the time being it’ll still be available on PlayStation, with players receiving extra time to pre-load the game over other systems.
That means PlayStation owners will be able to pre-load the full game starting on Thursday, October 20 – the same day the campaign early access begins.
If you’re an Xbox user you’ll be able to pre-load the full game a day earlier, on Wednesday, October 19. This is all due to an existing marketing agreement between Sony and Activision, which won’t expire for another three years.

While PlayStation and Xbox will have regional rollouts for the official launch and the luxury of pre-loading the game a week early, unfortunately, PC players won’t get the same treatment.
To pre-load the game on Battle.net and Steam, you’ll have to wait until Wednesday, October 26, which means you’ll get a little over a day to download the game before its release.
Here you can find all the exact dates and times that the campaign early access and the full game will launch across the UK:

As always, you should take this information with a grain of salt, as a lot of things can go wrong that could delay the launch.
Overwatch 2 is a prime example of that, as the game couldn’t catch a break, suffering two DDoS attacks and numerous bugs that put some players off.
Though hopefully, things will go much smoother for Modern Warfare 2.
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC on Friday, October 28.
