Wondering when is the next Double XP weekend in MW2 and Warzone 2? Infinity Ward and Raven Software closed the book on another successful Double XP weekend in Modern Warfare 2 not too long ago. But players are already wondering when the next one is coming.

On the slim chance that you’re not familiar or are reading this for the first time, a Double XP Weekend is exactly as it sounds. For the duration, players will earn twice the normal amount of XP they’d otherwise earn in the game – for Weapons, Player Rank and even the Battle Pass. They’re highly sought after events.

When Is The Next Double XP Weekend In Warzone?

While there’s no official date, we can speculate the next Double XP Weekend to commence from September 23 to 24, 2023, and will end at 10am PST / 1pm EST / 6pm BST.

The next Double XP Weekend is likely to start around the launch of Season 5 Reloaded. However, there is no specific date for the Reloaded update just yet. We do know, however, that Season 5 in-game is advertised to run until late September. Therefore we predict the mid-season update will likely arrive around the first few weeks of the same month. Rest assured we will keep this article up-to-date once it does.

When was the last Double XP Weekend in Warzone?

The last Double XP weekend began on August 17 and before that, we got a mini Double XP weekend rather than a full weekend-long event.

Prior to this latest event, the last full Double XP weekend kicked off first for PlayStation users from August 10 to 11 at 10am PT/6PM BST. Then, PC and Xbox players got to join in the fun from August 17 at 10am PT/6PM BST.

How to redeem Double XP Tokens in Warzone

One way is part of the game’s Vault Edition. You can even earn some just by playing the game’s campaign.

First off, make sure you’ve redeemed your codes to get your Double XP tokens. There’s multiple ways to do this, and they depend on how you earned your tokens.

If you got them from playing the campaign, you need to do very little as they should already be tied to your account in multiplayer. Obviously, make sure you are using the same one you completed the campaign with.

With DMZ now launched, you can now earn double XP tokens through doing specific DMZ missions as prior to exiting the mode. Of course, the battle pass will have XP tokens up for grabs all throughout the pass too.

How to activate Double XP Tokens in Warzone

If it’s an external promo, such as Burger King or Mountain Dew, these usually have their own bespoke URL to redeem your code. But more often than not these will redirect to some form of redeem page on the Call of Duty website.

Using Double XP tokens in MW2’s multiplayer is very straightforward. First, you just need to be in the multiplayer lobby.

Once there, you should see – next to the button to customise your loadout – a button for XP Tokens. Head into there, and simply activate your token.

Typically tokens count down from when you activate them – regardless of whether you’re in a game or not. So to maximize your time, make sure you actually intend to play for the duration of the token.

What time does double XP start in Warzone?
