Modern Warfare 3 campaign Early Access is just around the corner. Xbox players who pre-ordered the game can get started with the campaign from November 2, 2023, 10 am PT. However, unlike previous releases, the simple task of pre-loading content has become a little complicated. As developers switched to the Call of Duty HQ for their new releases, file management has become a chore for all systems.
That said, in this article, we'll take a closer look at how you can install the Modern Warfare 3 campaign early on the Xbox, along with all the details you need to know to prepare ahead of time.
How to pre-load Modern Warfare 3 campaign on Xbox
Trending
Pre-loading Modern Warfare 3 campaign on Xbox for Early Access users is pretty straightforward. Here's how you can do so:
- Boot up your console.
- Head over to 'My games & apps'.
- Highlight Call of Duty HQ and press the 'Menu' button on your controller.
- Next, select 'Manage game and add-ons'.
- Select the MW3 campaign packs from the given list of options.
- Finally, select Install to begin the download.
That's it. Once the download is complete, you'll just need to wait for the campaign Early Access to kick off to play the game. But, if you have yet to install Call of Duty HQ, you will need to manually download it from the Microsoft store to get started.
That said, it is worth noting that the pre-load isn't live at the time of writing and will go live on November 1, 2023, at 10 am PT.
