Activision has announced new downloadable content that will be exclusive to PlayStation players for the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This reveals additional incentives for CoD fans to purchase the game on PS3 or PS4 when it launches on October 28.
The PlayStation exclusive content includes:
- A remastered version of “Resistance”, a fan-favorite map from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This small map set in New York City is great for fast-paced, close-quarters combat.
- The “AK-74u” submachine gun, which is unlocked automatically for PlayStation players. This powerful SMG is popular among series veterans for its high fire rate and manageable recoil.
- A “Darkness” customization pack, containing a unique Ghillie suit player skin and other cosmetic items like weapon charms and skins. This gives PlayStation players exclusive customization options to personalize their operator.
- 1-hour double XP tokens to level up faster, only available on PlayStation consoles. Players can activate these tokens during matches to accelerate progression and prestige faster.
- 5 rare supply drops containing guaranteed rare cosmetic items and weapons, including operator skins, blueprints, emblems, and more. PlayStation players get bonus loot crates not available on other platforms.
A Long History of PlayStation Call of Duty Exclusivity
Activision has partnered with Sony for over a decade to offer PlayStation timed-exclusive content in Call of Duty games. This looks to continue with Modern Warfare 3, providing extra maps, weapons, cosmetics and more for PS4 and PS3 gamers.
The exclusivity periods are usually around one month long before the content becomes available on Xbox and PC. Some of the past PlayStation exclusive content in Call of Duty includes:
- Modern Warfare Remastered – Variety map pack with 4 remastered maps like Broadcast and Creek
- Black Ops 3 – Jungle map, Weaponized 115 camo, Cyborg and Weaponized 115 camos
- WWII – Carentan bonus map and the Resistance division
- Black Ops 4 – Classified Zombies map and the MX9 mastercraft
PlayStation Fans Get the Complete Modern Warfare 3 Experience on Day One
This exclusive content for PlayStation players gives Sony gamers the complete Modern Warfare 3 experience immediately at launch. The extra maps, weapons, cosmetic items, and double XP events add additional value and content for Call of Duty fans on PS4 and PS3.
Those wanting everything Modern Warfare 3 has to offer on release date may want to purchase the game on PlayStation to get all the content right away. After the exclusivity period ends, Xbox and PC players can unlock the items. But Sony console owners get first access to the remastered maps, weapons, cosmetics, and double XP bonuses.
