  "account": "Xbox has announced an exciting new development for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta, which will feature a single-player campaign mission for the first time. Typically, the franchise focuses on multiplayer offerings during beta tests, but this year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 beta is taking a different approach by including an early access to a single-player campaign mission titled \"Entrenched.\" Xbox CEO Asha Shar confirmed the change via an X/Twitter post, adding a gameplay teaser for the story mission. The beta will begin next week and include multiplayer modes and maps, such as the new Zodiac Warzone Resurgence map, in addition to the exclusive single-player campaign mission. The beta will run from August 21-25, offering exclusive access to those who pre-ordered the game on PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X | S.",
