MW4 is a current-generation release across console and PC storefronts, but Activision does not plan a Game Pass launch.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 releases October 23, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows PC. PC stores include Steam, Battle.net, and Xbox PC. There is no announced PS4, Xbox One, original Switch, macOS, or Linux edition.
| Platform | Launch status |
|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | Announced for Oct. 23 |
| Xbox Series X | S |
| Nintendo Switch 2 | Announced for Oct. 23 |
| Steam / Battle.net / Xbox PC | Announced for Oct. 23 |
| PS4 / Xbox One | Not announced |
| Original Nintendo Switch | Not announced |
Activision also states that Modern Warfare 4 is not planned for Game Pass at launch. That is a launch answer, not a claim that the game can never enter a subscription later. Any later availability needs a new official announcement.
The August beta does not change the retail release date. It is a time-limited test with separate access windows and progression rules. Use the beta schedule for those dates, and the edition comparison for what a purchase includes.
