Modern Warfare 2 Remastered (MW2R) has been out on PS4 for a month, but due to an exclusive deal Xbox and PC gamers have had to wait until April 30.

The download only features the Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) campaign mode – meaning no multiplayer – with spruced up graphics.

Released by US developer Activsion in 2009, the original MW2 won critical acclaim for its slick campaign and hugely popular multiplayer mode.

The game followed Task Force 141, a special forces unit hunted the leader of a Russian ultranationalist party.

And now Activision is cashing in on the game for a second time with the release of a Remastered version.

MW2R costs $20 (about £16) and is available via the Xbox One’s integrated store, and the Battle.net client for PC.

The revamped package features a bunch of visual upgrades eked out of the game using the latest hardware.
