Is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on PlayStation 5?

The short answer is yes.

Despite Microsoft purchasing Activision in a landmark deal in 2023, Call of Duty is still being released on Sony consoles. For now.

Before the acquisition, Activision was already in the middle of a deal with Sony that promised Call of Duty games would arrive on PlayStation earlier than Xbox. Activision is still honoring its partnership with Sony for the time being, meaning Black Ops 6 and other future CoD titles will be available on PlayStation when the game launches.

“We’re excited to confirm that Game Pass members will be able to jump into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 on day one with Game Pass,” Microsoft revealed.

The confirmation has left gamers quite excited at the accessibility of this intriguing entry in the franchise. With Black Ops 6 on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, players won’t have to pay extra cash to access the game.
