Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Beta Comes To PlayStation Before Xbox 25 May 2022 by Richard Breslin The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 beta will be coming to PlayStation before it arrives on Xbox consoles, despite Microsoft’s acquisition. Earlier in the year, Microsoft started the process of acquiring Activision Blizzard, with the deal expected to be finalised sometime in 2023. Once the deal goes through, it means that Microsoft will own the rights to Activision games. #ModernWarfare2 ships October 28th pic.twitter.com/aIHDGlDpfC- Call of Duty UK (@CallofDutyUK) May 24, 2022 However, some games, including Call of Duty are expected to remain multiformat. After all, Call of Duty is already a cross-platform game and is a massive moneymaker for Activision. So, it makes little sense, at least financially to restrict Call of Duty to one console brand.ADVERT ADVERT Prior to the pending acquisition, in recent years PlayStation has had timed-exclusive rights to alpha and beta tests, as well as certain game modes. Which is in contrast to the Xbox 360 era when Microsoft had timed-exclusive rights on DLC for the likes of the original Modern Warfare 2.
