The way the Modern Warfare 2 beta breaks down, those who preorder the game on a PlayStation platform will first have access to the beta, beginning on September 16. They will receive two full days to play through the multiplayer games before it opens up to every other PlayStation beta owner on September 18. This beta round will wrap up on September 20.

After this timeframe, a second beta phase begins on September 22, and it will be available to everyone who preordered Modern Warfare 2 across all platforms, such as PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. This will only last two days. On September 24, everyone across all platforms will have access to the beta until September 26.

If you want to make sure you get into the beta as early as possible, preorder Modern Warfare 2 on your PlayStation console. If you’re okay with waiting, you can grab it on an Xbox or PC to jump into the mix on September 22. It is a whole week after PlayStation players have had a chance to play it, though.
