PlayStation gamers are in for a treat this weekend. PS4 players are getting exclusive access to a special Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Alpha test before anyone else.
The Alpha is free to anyone with a PS4, and can be downloaded now and played throughout the weekend from Sept. 18 to 20. It’s the first chance for the public to play the game before the beta begins on Oct. 4.
This weekend’s Alpha will include six-vs-six multiplayer modes Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Kill Confirmed. It includes three playable maps named Moscow, Miami, and Satellite.
A new mode, Combined Arms: Domination, will also be playable. This is a 12-vs-12 mode on a larger map called Armada, which is set across multiple aircraft carriers and large ships on the open ocean.
Here’s how to get your hands on the CoD: Black Ops Cold War Alpha on PS4.
