Overview
- Treyarch announced on June 17 that the original Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010) and Black Ops 2 (2012) are being ported to PlayStation in July with Iron Galaxy credited as the partner studio.
- The studio confirmed each PlayStation release will include the single-player campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies modes from the original games.
- Treyarch framed the updates as ports rather than remasters, so no broad technical upgrades, new features, or enhanced visuals were promised in the announcement.
- The post did not give an exact July release date or pricing and left unanswered whether there will be crossplay, save or progression transfers, new servers, or anti-cheat measures.
- Xbox players can already run these titles on modern hardware through Microsoft’s backwards-compatibility program, so the PlayStation ports chiefly restore native access for PS4 and PS5 owners and may affect how Activision manages the franchise’s legacy catalog.
