Activision has released Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. However, the release has made many fans unhappy as buying both games with all downloadable content (DLC) could cost players up to $140. Notably, each game is priced at $40, while each season pass costs $29.99.
However, PlayStation Plus subscribers can get both games and their season passes at a lower price for a limited time. The ports also include some changes, with a few features removed from the original games.
Players will also receive a free customization pack for Black Ops 2, giving access to cosmetic items that were sold separately in the original game. In another news, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has become a standalone game effective July 7, allowing players to launch it directly instead of through the shared Call of Duty HQ app. The change allows Black Ops 6 owners to access the title directly after redownloading it. Further, legacy content related to Black Ops 6 modes within the main Call of Duty install will automatically be removed to free up storage space.”
The report noted that the fresh PlayStation release could provide a cleaner online experience, as the original game servers have long faced problems with hackers.
Most of the original content remains available, including the campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies modes.
PlayStation Plus users get limited-time discount
PlayStation Plus subscribers, however, can buy each game for $20 and each season pass for $9. This brings the total cost to around $60. The discounted prices are available until August 6, 2026.
Wager Matches and Theater Mode have been removed from both games, according to CharlieIntel. Additionally, the new PlayStation versions do not include any new gameplay features or cross-platform multiplayer.
