Xbox COD MW4 exclusive perk you won’t find elsewhere

Get ready to reload, gamers, because Microsoft is dropping some serious incentives to get you into the fray with the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. The publisher is putting some extra cash on the table, especially for those diving into the Xbox ecosystem.

If you plan to preorder any edition of Modern Warfare 4 on the Microsoft Store—whether you’re on Xbox or PC—you can snag a $5 digital credit back. This perk is a sweet bonus, designed to sweeten the deal for Xbox players.

For PC gamers, the notification is coming soon. Within 35 days of Modern Warfare 4’s launch on October 23, you’ll see a pop-up notification from the Xbox app regarding your Xbox gift card, ensuring the credit is easily accessible.

While the $5 credit is a nice little treat, Microsoft and Activision are also bringing back a major financial incentive for fans who want the full experience: the “loyalty discount” on the game’s $100 Vault Edition across all platforms.

If you’re looking to grab the Vault Edition at a reduced price of $90, you need to meet a few criteria. This discount is exclusive to preorders made on the same platform account where you owned and played qualifying titles, making it a smart move for existing fans.

To be eligible for the 10% discount, you must have owned or played certain previous Call of Duty titles, or claimed them through PlayStation Plus. Existing subscribers to Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and PC also qualify if they have played one of the qualifying games.

The list of qualifying titles includes a solid history of the franchise, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered (2020), Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022), Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023), Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

This move makes sense for Microsoft, as the company owns the Call of Duty series and makes the most money when players engage with games on its own platforms. It’s a clever way to reward loyalty while keeping the franchise accessible across the console landscape, even as the series expands to new platforms like the Switch 2.
