COD: Modern Warfare 4 gets a surprisingly sudden free trial, so you can see what the game's extraction mode DMZ is like

Activision has introduced a free trial for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4's extraction mode DMZ, available on PC (Steam / Battlenet), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S until November 11th. The trial offers access only to DMZ, excluding multiplayer and the campaign. Though not uncommon for Call of Duty titles to provide free access to certain modes temporarily, the DMZ trial's timing is noteworthy.

DMZ launched just before Modern Warfare 4's release on October 23rd, and this trial arrived two weeks later. In contrast, Black Ops 7's Endgame mode had its first free trial months after launch, persisting until Season 6. The DMZ trial also aligns with the launch of Modern Warfare 4's free-to-play battle royale mode Warzone and Season 1.

Both DMZ and Warzone occur on the same Hajin map, so players can transfer map knowledge from DMZ to Warzone. The DMZ trial lacks any limits, allowing players to climb ranks, access Story Missions, and complete Orders, including the new X01 endgame dungeon for advanced and fully-equipped players. Players advocating for a PvP-free playlist in DMZ may find the influx of new users beneficial.
