Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 may come to last-gen consoles if new leaked details are to be believed.
An image shared by a Reddit user earlier today (via CharlieIntel) reveals what seems to be GameStop pre-order information for this year’s Call of Duty. As the picture shows, options for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, and, most notably, PS4 are included in the list of copies available for purchase.
If the image is accurate, it means Black Ops 6 will be available on a console that originally launched in 2013.

Insider Gaming says its sources were able to verify the image, suggesting that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be coming to last-gen consoles. Notably, the image does not mention Xbox One, but the site adds that the Xbox Series X|S version will offer cross-generation support for Xbox One owners. Meanwhile, Activision owner Microsoft signed a deal in 2022 that will see it bringing Call of Duty titles to Nintendo consoles for at least 10 years. The Nintendo Switch may be left out this year, but Insider gaming adds that entries will begin to release for Nintendo’s long-rumored Switch 2 when it eventually releases.
We’ll learn a lot more about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 when Microsoft presents its Xbox Games Showcase on June 9, 2024. After the main event concludes, a show dedicated to the latest entry in the first-person shooter franchise will air. As with all early, unconfirmed details, it’s best to wait for official word that PS4 and Xbox One versions exists before getting your hopes up, so be sure to take everything with a grain of salt until Activision shares smore.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has no release date but is expected to launch sometime this fall. For more, you can check out every teaser we’ve seen so far.
