The all-platform beta begins with early access on Sept. 22 and 23, opening up to all players on all platforms from Sept. 24 to 26.

The PlayStation early access period is a holdover from Activision’s deal with Sony. The company has since been purchased by Microsoft, but it remains to be seen how long the deal with PlayStation will continue for.

Fans of the Call of Duty League can earn access to the beta by watching the Championship finals, currently going on right now on YouTube. Access can also be secured by pre-ordering the game.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II will be released on Oct. 28.
