  "textContent": "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launches on October 23, 2026, and pre-orders are live now across Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox on PC, Battle.net, and Steam. The game ships in two digital tiers, a Standard and a Vault Edition, plus a physical Standard Edition on consoles. The bonuses you receive depend on which one you buy and whether you pre-order before launch.\n\n🎯\n\nQuick answer: Pre-order any digital edition to lock in Open Beta Early Access and the Hunter Killer Operator Skin. The Vault Edition ($99.99) adds two Operator packs, a five-weapon Signature collection, one season of BlackCell, and a DMZ Deployment Bonus, and it qualifies for a 10% loyalty discount if you own a Call of Duty title from 2019 or later.\n\nPre-Order Modern Warfare 4\n\n* * *\n\n## Modern Warfare 4 editions and prices\n\nThere are three ways to buy the game. The Vault Edition and the Standard Edition are both available digitally on every launch platform, while the physical Standard Edition is sold on consoles only. The Standard Edition costs $69.99 and the Vault Edition costs $99.99.\n\nCall of Duty Modern Warfare 4 Editions — Image Credit: Activision\n\nThe Standard Edition is the base game and covers all three modes, Campaign, Multiplayer, and DMZ. The Vault Edition stacks premium cosmetics and a battle pass on top of that base game. Here is how the two compare.\n\nContent| Standard ($69.99)| Vault ($99.99)\n---|---|---\nFull base game (Campaign, MP, DMZ)| Yes| Yes\nOpen Beta Early Access| Yes| Yes\nHunter Killer Operator Skin| Yes (digital)| Yes\nHostile Alliance Operator Pack| No| Yes\nSpecial Forces Operator Pack| No| Yes\nSignature Weapon Collection| No| Yes\nBlackCell (1 season)| No| Yes\nDMZ Deployment Bonus| No| Yes\n10% loyalty discount eligible| No| Yes\n\nIf you buy the Standard Edition first, you can upgrade to the Vault Edition later for $30.\n\n* * *\n\n## Supported platforms for pre-order\n\nPre-orders and pre-purchases are rolling out on the following platforms. Pages may take time to appear in every region, so check back if your storefront isn't showing the listing yet.\n\nPlatform| Status\n---|---\nXbox Series X|S (Xbox Play Anywhere)| Available now\nPlayStation 5| Available now\nXbox on PC (Xbox Play Anywhere)| Available now\nPC via Battle.net| Available now\nPC via Steam| Available now\nNintendo Switch 2| Pre-order later this year\n\nXbox Play Anywhere means a single Xbox purchase grants access on both Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC. The game will not release on Xbox One or PlayStation 4, and it will not be on Game Pass at launch.\n\n* * *\n\n## Pre-order bonuses for every edition\n\nTwo rewards apply regardless of how much you spend, as long as you pre-order.\n\n**Open Beta Early Access** comes with all three editions. Digital pre-orders are granted access automatically with no code needed. Physical pre-orders receive a Beta Code at the point of sale from participating retailers. Players who don't pre-order can still join the open portion of the Beta when it opens later this year. Exact timing has not been announced, and the Beta runs for a minimum of two days.\n\nThe **Hunter Killer Operator Skin** is included with both digital editions. It unlocks instantly in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone the next time you open either game, then carries into Modern Warfare 4 at launch. You need Black Ops 7 or Warzone on your platform to redeem it, and the redemption window closes on October 23, 2027.\n\n⚠️\n\nThe Hunter Killer skin ships with the digital Standard and Vault editions. The physical Standard Edition includes Beta access but not the skin.\n\n* * *\n\n## Vault Edition exclusive content\n\nThe Vault Edition layers several cosmetic packs and a battle pass season on top of the base game. Everything below is exclusive to that edition.\n\nCall of Duty Modern Warfare 4 Vault Edition — Image Credit: Activision\n\n### Hostile Alliance Operator Pack\n\nFour Operators unlock at launch: Price, Valeria, Ghost, and Blix. Price and Valeria each include masked and unmasked variant skins.\n\n### Special Forces Operator Pack\n\nFour more Operators arrive at launch, each with a skin tied to its country of origin and a voice pack in the local language.\n\nOperator| Country\n---|---\nCOM SFT| France\nKSK Amphibious| Germany\nSouth Korean Special Forces| South Korea\nSAS| United Kingdom\n\n### Signature Weapon Collection\n\nFive weapons with their Blueprints unlock at launch, each carrying multiple attachments including an Apex Attachment.\n\nCall of Duty Modern Warfare 4 Special Weapon Pack — Image Credit: Activision Weapon| Blueprint| Apex Attachment\n---|---|---\nKastov 762 Assault Rifle| Voltspine| Kastov Arc (RF pulse disruption barrel)\nISO Nightshade SMG| La Sombra Venenosa| ISO Trace (RFID target tracking)\nRezi 12 Shotgun| Shattered Code| Rezi Enforcer (pump-action, explosive slugs)\nOris 8.6 Marksman Rifle| Volt-Edge| Oris Razor (three throwing knives)\nCombat Knife (Melee)| Sombra Besada| —\n\n### BlackCell (one season)\n\nThe Vault Edition grants a single season of BlackCell. The season you receive depends on when you play. Pre-order, pre-purchase, or buy the edition and play before or during Season 1 to get Season 1 BlackCell. Buy and play after Season 1, and you receive the current season instead. BlackCell includes 20 Battle Pass Tier Skips and 1,100 COD Points unlocked immediately, a new Operator and Weapon Blueprint, BlackCell variants of select battle pass content, and the full Battle Pass with 100+ rewards. These items become accessible once the Season 1 Battle Pass is live in-game.\n\n### DMZ Deployment Bonus\n\nVault Edition owners receive extra DMZ content as a Deployment Bonus at launch. The exact contents have not been detailed yet.\n\n* * *\n\n## 10% loyalty discount on the Vault Edition\n\nIf you own and have played a premium Call of Duty title from Modern Warfare (2019) onward, you can pre-order the Vault Edition at 10% off the standard price, which brings it to $89.99. That discount applies only to the Vault Edition and only through digital pre-order on platform storefronts.\n\nTo qualify, the previous game must be owned and played on the same platform account you use to pre-order. Free-to-play and mobile titles do not count. Active Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, or PC subscribers who have played a qualifying title through Game Pass are also eligible. The discount is based on MSRP, applies to pre-orders only, and is valid until October 23, 2026. Full eligibility details are available at Activision support.\n\n💡\n\nQualifying games include mainline releases such as Modern Warfare (2019), Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III, Black Ops 6, and Black Ops 7.\n\n* * *\n\n## How to pre-order on each platform\n\n**Step 1:** Open your storefront of choice, then search for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. On Steam, Battle.net, the PlayStation Store, or the Microsoft Store, the listing appears with both edition options.\n\n**Step 2:** Select the edition you want, Standard or Vault. If you qualify for the loyalty discount, it applies automatically to the Vault Edition at checkout on a participating digital storefront.\n\n**Step 3:** Complete payment. The game appears in your library, and your pre-order bonuses are tied to your account once the purchase confirms.\n\nYou'll know the pre-order worked when the game shows in your platform library as pre-ordered or pre-installed, and when the Hunter Killer Operator appears in the Operators menu of Black Ops 7 or Warzone on your next launch. If the skin doesn't show, confirm you bought a digital edition and that you have Black Ops 7 or Warzone installed on the same platform account, since both are required for redemption.\n\n* * *\n\nThe decision between the two editions comes down to how much time you expect to spend in Multiplayer and DMZ. The Standard Edition covers the full campaign and every mode for $69.99, which is enough for players focused on the story and casual matches. The Vault Edition makes more sense if you plan to play through Season 1, since the BlackCell season alone typically runs around $30 and the Vault bundle adds it alongside both Operator packs, the Signature Weapon Collection, and the DMZ Deployment Bonus.",
