Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3’s (MW3) final release date is just around the corner, and the developers have opened the pre-load gates for all supported platforms, including Xbox. This process helps the publisher reduce the load from the official servers on the launch date, as a majority of the players will already have downloaded most of the gameplay files. This is also a great way to reduce the waiting time for players to experience the new title.
Modern Warfare 3 will be added to the existing Call of Duty HQ platform alongside Activision’s 2022 multiplayer shooter and Warzone. That will help the developers easily migrate the cosmetics, bundles, operators, and weapons to the new game and provide the entire community with a method to continue the grind in a fresh and improved environment.
This article will highlight the pre-load details for Modern Warfare 3 on Xbox consoles.
How to pre-load Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer and Zombies on Xbox Series
Here are the steps you can follow to pre-load the upcoming multiplayer and Zombies mode on the supported Xbox devices:
- Start your console and log in with your account credentials.
- As soon as you get to the home menu, you will likely be notified by the game client itself that a pre-load is ready to be downloaded.
- You can then proceed to download the required game files before MW3’s final release.
- Once the files are downloaded, they will remain on your system. However, just before the release time of the game, the files will be unpacked and installed for you to gain quick access.
It is important to note that the files might take a while to download as they will arrive in bulk. Depending on your internet speed, this process might even take nearly an hour to complete downloading.

How much GB is the Modern Warfare 3 pre-load for Xbox?
