Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 pre-orders are alive and kicking following the game's reveal yesterday, and there's some decent extra swag up for grabs. You'll need to put your order in early if you want access to the open beta in October. We don't know precisely when that early access period will run, but it's likely going to be close to the October 23 release date.
US: 5 hours double XP: $69.99 at Amazon
UK: 10% off + Steelbook: £62.99 at Currys
That means it's time to get those copies locked in, and retailers are already starting to compete. Amazon and Best Buy are your top bets in the US right now. The former is offering five hours of double XP with its standard edition Call of Duty pre-orders, while the latter can send you home with a steelbook case. In the UK, Currys is my go-to. While UK players can also double their points with Amazon, Currys is throwing in that steelbook with a 10% discount on the game itself.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 pre-orders come in two shapes right now: a Standard Edition with the full game and that open beta access, and a Vault Edition with additional cosmetics, packs, multiplayer bonuses, and BlackCell. Activision is also running a loyalty scheme this time around. Essentially, anyone who has already played a CoD game released after 2019 can score 10% off their Vault Edition pre-order (Warzone doesn't count).
Both Modern Warfare 4 editions are now available to pre-order on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC - but Activision notes we'll be waiting a little longer for the new Nintendo Switch 2 versions.

Standard Editions
The standard $69.99 Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 pre-order comes with access to the open beta included. That's the only way you'll be able to play ahead of that release date. Thankfully, Best Buy and Amazon are throwing their own incentives into the ring with steelbooks and double XP offerings.
Vault Edition
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 Vault Edition pre-orders are the digital deluxe versions, with the open beta access included as well as additional in-game cosmetics (with, apparently, a more "grounded" approach), items, and currency:
- Hunter Killer Operator Skin
- Hostile Alliance Operator Pack
- Special Forces Operator Pack
- Signature Weapon Collection
- BlackCell (one season)
- DMZ Deployment Bonus

What is the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 Loyalty Discount?
The new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 loyalty scheme means that anyone who has played a CoD title after the release of Modern Warfare 2019 will receive 10% off digital pre-orders of the Vault Edition when bought via their platform's store. You'll need to have both owned and played any of the titles below to qualify:

You'll need to pre-order on the same platform (though previous generation consoles count) you have previously played on to qualify for the discount.
You can claim your discount by heading to your platform's digital storefront, where you'll automatically see the 10% saving applied to the Vault Edition.
