Earlier this year, Activision announced that Call of Duty Mobile (opens in new tab) would finally be coming to the West after an extended stint in China, with a Beta rolling out across Android and iOS devices in the Summer.
That Beta is kicking off in select regions on Android and iOS devices, as the Tencent-developed shooter is becoming available to play for certain users who pre-register for access on the Google Play Store (opens in new tab) and Apple Store.
