Treyarch announced on June 17, 2026, via official social media that the original Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II will be ported to current-generation PlayStation hardware in July 2026. Iron Galaxy is partnering with Treyarch on the porting effort. Both titles will include all three gameplay modes: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies.
The original Call of Duty: Black Ops, released in 2010, is set during the Cold War and follows CIA operatives including Alex Mason as they conduct covert operations. The game is notable for introducing "Nuketown," a fan-favorite multiplayer map that would become a staple in later entries of the franchise. Call of Duty: Black Ops II, released in 2012, features a narrative spanning two time periods—the 1980s and 2025—with interconnected storylines. The sequel was the first in the series to introduce a multiple-ending campaign system where player choices determine the outcome of the story.
Specific details regarding which PlayStation systems will support the ports and pricing information have not yet been disclosed by Treyarch.
Why This Matters
These classic Call of Duty titles represent significant franchise milestones—the original Black Ops pioneered the "Nuketown" map phenomenon, while Black Ops II revolutionized narrative design with player-choice consequences. PlayStation players can now access these influential entries without owning legacy hardware, expanding the audience for two foundational games in the shooter genre and demonstrating publisher commitment to bringing beloved retrospective titles to current platforms.
