Call of Duty: Black Ops PS5 Ports Updated as Fans Await July Releases
The first two Call of Duty: Black Ops titles are receiving PlayStation 5 ports scheduled to launch in July 2026, though exact release dates have not yet been announced. The lack of specific timing has left fans uncertain about when they can revisit these classic entries on current-generation hardware.
Prior to the official reveal, some players speculated that the Black Ops ports might arrive as part of PlayStation Plus Essential’s monthly free game lineup. However, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was selected as July’s PS Plus Essential offering instead, providing subscribers with access to what is described as an excellent multiplayer experience on PS5.
With confirmation of a July release window but no specific dates provided, the gaming community awaits further clarity on when the Black Ops ports will become available. The decision to feature Modern Warfare 3 in PS Plus instead suggests Activision’s strategy to distribute its Call of Duty titles across different release and distribution channels.
