Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare beta hits PS4 a week early on October

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare‘s multiplayer beta will arrive on the PlayStation 4 first on October 14 at 10 am. It will hit the Xbox One a week later on October 21, Activision announced today.

The PS4 multiplayer beta will be available for those who have pre-ordered the game. Activision’s Infinity Ward studio unveiled the details of multiplayer combat for Infinite Warfare at the recent Call of Duty XP event in Los Angeles. I got hands-on time with the multiplayer mode at the event, and it feels very familiar despite the sci-fi setting of the game. But a much wider group of fans will be able to give their verdict soon enough for the blockbuster title, which debuts on November 4.
