Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 pre-orders are now live and with two editions up for grabs, a couple of bonuses to choose from, and some early discounts in the UK, things are already heating up ahead of October 23.
Here's what you need to know. Both $69.99 / £69.99 Standard and $99.99 / £99.99 Vault Edition MW4 pre-orders are now available, though retailers are adding their own bonuses onto the former. Amazon's standard edition copies also come with five hours of double XP (at launch) and Best Buy's (Currys in the UK) comes packaged up with a free steelbook. That's if you're not interested in any digital extras.
The Vault Edition is your digital deluxe, available via Xbox or PS Store (or with a Steelbook at Best Buy if you're in the US). The boosted MW4 pre-order comes with:
- Hostile Alliance Operator Pack
- Special Forces Operator Pack
- Signature Weapon Collection
- BlackCell
- DMZ Deployment Bonus
- Hunter Killer Operator Skin
- Gilded Pearl Camo Pack
- Campaign Early Access (October 16)
So here's what I would do. Amazon is your go-to if you're after the standard edition. You're still getting something extra in that double XP, but the site is still currently guaranteeing release day delivery. Best Buy will swap those points for a steelbook, but speedy delivery isn't confirmed as such on the listing itself.
In the UK, you'll be heading to Currys. Amazon is matching the same price, and swapping the steelbook for double XP, but strangely delivery times are a little less concrete at the time of writing. On the flip side, Currys has free release day delivery advertised with that shelf piece as well.

Is there a Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 Collector's Edition
There is no Collector's Edition for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4, but that's not exactly surprising. There hasn't been a physical goodie bag up for grab since the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Dark Edition back in 2019.
