Call of Duty Black Ops 1 and 2 finally get PlayStation ports, launching next month

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 won’t be the only title in the long-running franchise to be released this year. Treyarch has announced that new ports of the classics Black Ops 1 and 2 will be coming to PlayStation consoles next month.

Treyarch’s official account on X (formerly Twitter) revealed that these titles will be coming exclusively to PlayStation via Iron Galaxy, the studio that recently worked on the port of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 last year. This port will include everything both titles should have: campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies. For now, it’s unclear what these ports will include and whether players will be able to connect via cross-play with accounts still on PC and older Xbox consoles.

Why are Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 being ported to PlayStation?

One thing to keep in mind is that, for now, this port isn’t coming to either Xbox or PC for a clear reason. These titles have been available on both platforms thanks to Xbox’s backward compatibility. Since they were originally released for PlayStation 3, compatibility with PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 is complicated, to put it mildly. This is undoubtedly big news for PlayStation players who, despite the passage of time, haven’t played these games in several generations.

For now, 2026 will also feature a remake of the legendary Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, which will avoid competing with Grand Theft Auto VI entirely this year and has moved up its release date to October 23, 2026, coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
