Modern Warfare 4 campaign early access listed for October 16, Xbox Wire says

Campaign access ahead of launch

Xbox Wire says Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will offer campaign early access beginning October 16 to players who preorder. It lists the global launch for October 23. For players planning when to start, the distinction matters: the earlier date covers the campaign through the preorder offer, rather than the game’s global launch.

Upcoming Game Pass listings

The same Xbox Wire schedule lists Deep Dish Dungeon for October 13 with Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere labels. Its description combines dungeon exploration with gathering resources, improving a campsite, crafting tools and preparing meals. Xbox Wire says players can explore alone or with up to two friends. Valor Mortis also carries an October 13 date and both access labels.

For October 15, Xbox Wire lists Bluey’s Happy Snaps and Chained Beasts with Game Pass labels. The Bluey entry describes a photography adventure featuring Bluey and Bingo, playable alone or alongside a second player. Chained Beasts is described as a gladiator roguelike supporting one to four players, with characters chained together. Beyond These Stars, a city-building game set on a travelling space whale, follows on October 16 with a Game Pass label.

Party play and other scheduled releases

Xbox Wire also lists The Jackbox Party Pack 12 for October 15. Its description specifies five new games and says a group needs only one owner of the pack, with participants using phones as controllers. That ownership arrangement gives people organising a game night a concrete detail to consider alongside the scheduled release date.

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is another October 15 entry in Xbox Wire’s schedule, carrying an Xbox Play Anywhere label. Across the roundup, Xbox Wire cautions that release dates can change. Readers arranging a purchase or a shared play session should therefore treat these dates as the announced schedule, rather than a guarantee of availability on those days.
