Activision Locks Modern Warfare 4 Early Access Behind $69.99 Digital Pre-Orders

Summary
$69.99 digital pre-orders are required to get early campaign access for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, shutting out physical buyers from the perk.
Activision's promo also says the game will not be on Xbox Game Pass this year, reinforcing a push toward full-price purchases ahead of the October 23 launch.
The sales strategy comes after a weaker Call of Duty outing, with Activision looking to rebuild momentum around Infinity Ward's next mainline release.
Modern Warfare 4 is being positioned as a return to a more grounded style, with a campaign centered on a Republic of Korea Marine during a North Korean invasion.
