It’s official, folks; this year’s Call of Duty game will not be available on PS4, and presumably not on Xbox One, either. This will be the first time since Call of Duty: Ghosts that a new CoD game won’t launch on PS4.
Confirmation game from the official Call of Duty X account when it decided to address recent rumours that this years CoD was being playtested on PS4.
“Not sure where this one started, but it’s not true. The next Call of Duty is not being developed for PS4”, said the account.
It doesn’t mention it, but presumably if the game isn’t being developed for PS4 then there won’t be an Xbox One version, either.
Last-gen consoles still have a stronger playerbase than you might expect. Last year Sony stated that as of mid-2025, PS5 monthly users had finally surpassed those using PS4. In other words, that’s a lot of potential sales that Call of Duty is missing out on, especially since the last couple of entries haven’t done so well on the sales front.
But the good news is that by ditching last-gen, the new games should have more room to spread their wings technologically speaking. At least, that’s the hope.
