The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare beta weekend begins Saturday, but for players on PS4, you can begin playing right now. On top of early Call of Duty beta access, you also qualify for $10 in credit if you’re an Amazon Prime member.

That means you could spend the next 2 days getting ahead of the competition before the Modern Warfare open beta kicks off on Saturday, September 14.

How to Get Early Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Beta Access

To get into the early access beta, you MUST preorder the PS4 version. If you plan to play on Xbox One, that’s totally fine. You still get the $10 Prime credit and the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare preorder bonuses. You just don’t get that sweet, sweet early beta access.

Nintendo has finally unveiled what the circular Ring-Con controller it previously teased is used for: a new fitness game called Ring Fit Adventure which will release October 18.

Ring Fit Adventure translates physical exercises into in-game moves, and allows you to explore 20 different worlds. The adventure includes activities such as running, hovering, and steering a raft along a river. The journey is filled with enemy encounters, and players can attack and defend using 40 different ‘fit skills’, which require you to use your arms, legs, abs, and even yoga positions. As such, every quest is a bit of a workout.

Hideo Kojima apparently didn’t want to tell people exactly what his new game is, but saw so many people asking that he decided to put on a more explanatory show at TGS. You can watch the 49-minute, Japanese-language demo above.

We already had a fairly good idea about the structure of the game – Norman Reedus’ Sam is a sci-fi delivery man, tasked with helping a fractured United States by convincing independent cities to join the Chiral Network, a connection system designed to tie the country back together. That convincing is seemingly done by helping people out, accruing Facebook-style thumbs-up likes for actions great and small. This demo, however, gave us a much better idea of what a single mission looks like – and it’s as weird, funny, and in-depth as you might expect. We’ve written down every new gameplay element we spotted, along with when we spotted them below. Here we go!

A new trailer for Yakuza 7, which is officially called Yakuza: Like a Dragon, premiered today at Tokyo Game Show. The trailer, which is in Japanese with English subtitles available, shows off more of the story and setting.

“One journey ends, a new one begins. Yakuza: Like a Dragon A brand new story in a new city, featuring new characters, along with a completely revamped combat system,” reads a line from its official announcement. “All on top of everything you already love about Yakuza. Coming to the West in 2020!”

Yakuza: Like a Dragon stars Ichiban Kasuga, after Yakuza 6: The Song of Life wrapped up the story of the previous protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. Sega is adopting a turn-based battle system as homage to Dragon Quest. To match thematically, the new hero is canonically a huge DQ fan. The game is due in January in Japan, and sometime in 2020 in the West.

In other news, it was recently confirmed that Yakuza 7’s minigames will include go karts, slot machines, and boring movies, among other things.

Tokyo Game Show runs throughout the week and into the weekend, with news and updates expected for Death Stranding, Project Resistance, and more, so keep checking back with GameSpot for more.

Given how awesome and affordable a bolt-on liquid cooler is, there’s no reason you shouldn’t consider running one in your gaming rig.

We dive into the deep end of virtual reality to bring you the best VR headsets, which we’ve all rigorously tested.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a brand-new shooter from Infinity War, set to launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 25, 2019.

Despite its name, and a few returning characters, the new title isn’t going to be connected to the previous games in the sub-series. It will also feature a fully-fledged single-player campaign, unlike last year’s Black Ops 4 from Treyarch.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will also feature a first for the series — cross-platform multiplayer. In another set of changes, there won’t be a season pass, and all players will get free maps and access to post-launch events. The new game will also see the return of killstreaks, a multiplayer feature that hasn’t been used since the original Black Ops.

Tokyo Game Show 2019 is underway, and one of the first major events was the PlayStation Presents Live Show. The show started strong with a gameplay demonstration featuring none other than Hideo Kojima’s much-anticipated new game, Death Stranding.

The show was broadcast live, and a replay should be available shortly for you to watch. We saw and learned a lot about Death Stranding from the new gameplay video, which included an epic boss battle with some kind of terrifying otherworldly beast.

Here are some other things we learned in the extended gameplay presentation:

• The motorcycle that Norman Reedus’ character rides in the game is a collaboration with Triumph, the motorcycle company that Reedus is a fan of in real life.
• You can get a harmonica, and the baby in the baby pod likes it when you play it.
• Carrying around luggage is a bit part of the game.
• You can drop your luggage if you’re not careful, or if you slip on rocks or fall into water.
• You can drop or deposit items to move faster and turn easier.
• Items left by other human players can be seen in your game world.
• There is a Bola gun that kills enemies through a lasso mechanic.
• The map includes a topographical option that shows hills and valleys and water.
• Markers can be placed on the map to help you find your way.
• Main character Sam can take time to chill out and relax; in the game we saw Sam enjoying nature, and there were prompts that showed he could give himself a massage or even nap.
• Sam can also take baths to recharge his energy.
• To make things easier, Sam can use a “Floating Carrier” which hovers in the air behind him
• Sam can also ride this carrier, and that’s pretty cool.
• Sam can drink Monster Energy drinks to restore Stamina; really he can.

Just recently, Kojima said, “Even now, I don’t understand the game.” He added: “Its world view, gameplay, they are all new. My mission is to create a genre that does not currently exist, and which takes everyone by surprise. There is, naturally, a risk in that.”

Death Stranding’s release date has been confirmed as November 8, 2019 for PS4.
