Overview
- The official Call of Duty account said Monday the next installment is not being developed for PlayStation 4, directly refuting a PS4 testing rumor.
- The denial followed a weekend post from leaker Alaix claiming PS4 playtesting, which he later clarified did not mean a retail PS4 release and could reflect low‑spec testing.
- Many outlets read the post as the franchise leaving last‑gen consoles, though Activision named only PS4 and did not explicitly address Xbox One.
- Reporters say dropping last‑gen support could free the team to push graphics and systems on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC after years of scaling features to fit older hardware.
- Activision has not announced the game’s name, platforms, or release date, with media still treating a Modern Warfare 4 label and a 2026 window as unconfirmed leaks.
