Activision Blizzard is moving the next Call of Duty title exclusively to next-generation consoles, dropping support for PS4 and Xbox One.
The publisher's shift marks a significant step away from the current console generation, which has dominated the market for nearly a decade.
Activision's decision reflects the industry's gradual migration toward PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S platforms. The move aligns with other major publishers who have begun phasing out last-gen support as next-gen install bases grow.
No official announcement has confirmed the specific details of the next Call of Duty title or its exact platform lineup. However, the departure from PS4 and Xbox One suggests the game will leverage next-gen hardware capabilities.
PC and mobile versions remain unconfirmed. The decision could impact millions of players still on current-generation consoles, though the aging hardware's technical limitations may have made next-gen-only development necessary.
Activision has not yet provided a release window or additional platform information.
