Overview
- Treyarch announced Wednesday that Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010) and Black Ops 2 (2012) are being ported to PlayStation consoles in July, with Iron Galaxy credited as the studio handling the work.
- Activision confirmed the re-releases will appear on PS4 and PS5 and stressed they are ports, not remasters, meaning no formal promise of PS5-specific features such as 120Hz support.
- Treyarch says both games will include their original Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies modes, restoring native PlayStation access that PS4/PS5 lacked because PS3-era titles are not backwards compatible on modern PlayStation hardware.
- Key commercial and technical details remain open: none of the coverage provides exact July release dates, pricing, DLC or whether the ports will use fresh servers and anti-cheat systems instead of legacy infrastructure that has been prone to hacked lobbies.
- The move closes a PlayStation access gap created by Microsoft’s earlier backwards-compatibility support for Xbox but also raises questions about parity for Xbox and PC players and whether native updates will follow for those platforms.
