Black Ops 6 Last-Gen Version Seemingly Confirmed via GameStop Listing

While Activision didn’t state which platforms Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available on in yesterday’s announcement, it’s a given that it’ll be on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. For those wondering if we’re getting Black Ops 6 on last-gen (PS4, Xbox One), it seems that’s a yes.

Over on Reddit, user Oufp4 posted a GameStop listing of the game confirming the PS4 version:

For some reason, it doesn’t mention the Xbox One version for some reason, and the last-gen version is priced at $69.99, which is what the current-gen games are priced currently.

If true, then this means Black Ops 6 will be launching on consoles released over 10 years ago. I can imagine that most gamers won’t be happy with this, as this means the game will have to cater (somewhat) to the lowest common denominator when it comes game features and whatnot, as Treyarch most likely wouldn’t want current-gen owners to gain an advantage over last-gen owners in multiplayer. Not only that, but that means the game’s visuals won’t exactly be cutting-edge given there should still be parity in how the last-gen and current-gen versions look to some degree.

Of course, it makes sense why Activision and Microsoft would want to do this, and that’s for game sales. There’s still a ton of people gaming on last-gen consoles, and catching even a fraction of that equals a lot of sold game copies. It’s just that crazy to think that here we are on the fourth year of the current-gen hardware’s release, and we’re still getting games cross-gen games.

With no official announcement from Microsoft or Activision, take this with a grain of salt for now. We’ve reached out to Activision to get a confirmation, and once we hear anything back, we’ll update the article.
