Overview
- Activision, Treyarch and port studio Iron Galaxy quietly released native PS4 and PS5 ports on July 9, 2026, pricing each base game at $39.99 with a limited PlayStation Plus launch discount that cuts the price to $19.99 until August 6.
- The releases are faithful ports of the original 2010 and 2012 games rather than remasters, so they ship the original campaign, multiplayer and Zombies without major graphical or modern-feature upgrades.
- All original DLC map packs are excluded from the base purchases and are being sold as separate season passes priced around $30 per game, which increases the total cost for players who want the full experience.
- Datamined evidence shows the PlayStation builds use modern PSN infrastructure, but the ports do not support crossplay and matchmaking is split by platform and by whether a player owns DLC, which may fragment lobbies and shorten match longevity.
- Several legacy features have been removed or disabled — reported examples include Wager Matches, Theatre Mode, ranked mode, leaderboards and online player counters — and fans have reacted largely with frustration over price and lost functionality.
