Modern Warfare 3 beta end time and date – Last chance to play first COD beta

The Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 PlayStation beta is coming to an end. If you want to check out the game’s multiplayer ahead of launch, then consider this your last chance to sample the latest maps and modes as part of the first beta weekend. The Modern Warfare 3 beta is currently available to all PS4 and PS5 users, even without a pre-order. Unfortunately, however, the Modern Warfare 3 PlayStation open beta has an October 10 end date and a 6pm BST UK end time, so there’s not long left to enjoy the action.

On the plus side, the second beta weekend takes place later this week, and this time it’s available on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.

In order to access the Modern Warfare 3 beta, you’ll need to visit the beta page on the PlayStation Store and select what you want to download.

Indeed, you’ll actually access the beta from Call of Duty HQ, which is available in Modern Warfare 2 and the free-to-play Warzone.

With Warzone weighing in at around 100GB and the beta roughly 26GB, it’s worth pre-loading ahead of launch in order to avoid missing out.

Not only is the second part of the beta weekend available without a pre-order, but you don’t even need a PlayStation Plus subscription.

In terms of content, the first Modern Warfare 3 beta weekend features a grand total of five maps.

This includes Favela, Estate and Skidrow, which are playable in a variety of classic multiplayer game modes. Fan-favourite map Rust joined the game on October 8.

In addition to the classic maps and game modes, fans can check out the Popov Power Plant map, which is playable as part of the Ground War mode.

This is a larger-scale map and game mode, where teams will have to participate in multiple phases in order to emerge victorious.

Fans will also be able to unlock a selection of exclusive in-game rewards by playing the beta, including Modern Warfare 3 beta sticker, ‘Did the Beta’ Vinyl, Operation Beta weapon charm, Beta Tester animated calling card, Beta Ripper weapon blueprint and an animated emblem.
