Call of Duty Vanguard’s cross-play beta has been extended until Wednesday.
The multiplayer test kicked off last Thursdayfor allPlayStationusers as well asXboxandPCplayers who had pre-ordered the upcoming shooter.
It was then opened up to all players on all platforms until at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST / 7pm CEST today, but has now been extended by 48 hours.
Once downloaded, players can launch into the beta from the main menu ofWarzone,Black Ops Cold WarorModern Warfare.
The multiplayer test includes Patrol, a new mode which tasks players with capturing and holding a moving zone to earn points for their team.
“Call of Duty veterans can think of Patrol as Hardpoint with a ‘Patrol Zone’ that moves along the map rather than changing positions every minute,” according toActivision.
Other game types available in the beta include traditional Call of Duty modes Team Deathmatch, Domination and Kill Confirmed.
Players can also experience Champion Hill, as first seen inthe PlayStation alpha test.
