Modern Warfare 3 Release Date
Activision is gearing up for the official release of Modern Warfare 3 on November 10, 2023. However, players can get a head start by pre-ordering the game and participating in beta phases. The initial beta is exclusively available to PlayStation users, while the second phase, commencing on October 12, 2023, opens the doors to all supported platforms (PlayStation, Xbox, and PC).
