Modern Warfare 2 leak reveals editions & early PlayStation beta
Data miners have discovered in-game files added to Vanguard with the Season 3 Reloaded update that provides information concerning Modern Warfare 2 editions and the open beta.
On May 24 the Season 3 Reloaded update for Vanguard went live, and while new content like the H4 Blixen and Sphere map is exciting, there was yet another surprise hidden in the update.
It turns out data miners have leaked in-game Vanguard files that provide information concerning Modern Warfare 2 editions. These files have shed light on what each edition could bring to the table, as well as which platform will get early access to the MW2 Open beta later this year.
While this information has not been confirmed by Activision, the following info concerning Modern Warfare 2 pre-order content was found in Vanguard’s in-game files:
Standard Edition content
- Modern Warfare 2
- Early access to open beta
- Other items to be announced
Cross-Gen Bundle content
- Cross-Gen version of Modern Warfare 2
- Early access to open beta – first on PS4 & PS5
- Other items to be announced
Vault Edition content
- Early access to open beta
- Battle Pass (1 Season) + 50 Tier Skips
- Red Team Operator Pack – Ghost, Soap, Price, Farah Operators
- FJX Cinder Weapon Vault
- 10 hours 2XP, + 10 hours 2WXP
- Ghost Legacy Pack – 12 Operator Skins & 10 Weapon Blueprints
It seems all three pre-order editions grant players early access to the open beta, and we’ll keep you posted once we know when pre-orders commence and when the beta will occur. The cross-gen bundle also confirms that MW2 will release on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.
Another key piece of information revealed by this leak is that PS4 and PS5 players will receive access to the open beta first. We already know that PlayStation exclusivity will not last forever, once the Microsoft deal to acquire Activision officially goes through, but at the moment it is good news for PlayStation players.
You’ll have to discern which edition is right for you, but there’s no denying that the Vault Edition comes with a ton of interesting Operator and weapon cosmetics. In addition, the 50 Battle Pass Tier Skips and double weapon XP will be valuable as you attempt to level up early on.
