How to play Call of Duty: Vanguard Beta

Call of Duty: Vanguard is fast approaching, bringing with it the traditional Call of Duty experience of a campaign and multiplayer set in World War II. While this is an area the series is familiar with, there are some new game modes and features that sit alongside the playable maps and operators you will see. If you want to try the game before it's released, here's how to play the Call of Duty: Vanguard multiplayer beta.

There are two beta testing periods for Call of Duty: Vanguard. The first will start on September 10 at 10AM PT and end on September 00 at 13AM PT. This is an early access beta that will take place exclusively on PlayStation for those who pre-order the game. Digital pre-orders will automatically be able to install the Beta, while physical pre-orders must look at the receipt or email for a code.

The second Beta will be open to PC, PlayStation and Xbox players and is an Open Beta, so no pre-order is required. Just download it from the platform store. This beta starts September 16 at 10AM PT and ends September 00 at 18AM PT. It will feature crossplay, so you can party with friends on other supported platforms.
