Treyarch Confirms 2 Black Ops PS5 Ports for July as Iron Galaxy Handles PlayStation Release

3 articles · Updated · Push Square · Jun 17

Summary

  • July will bring native PS5 versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops 2, Treyarch said, though it did not give a final release date.
  • Iron Galaxy is handling the ports, which Treyarch framed as straightforward PlayStation conversions rather than remasters of the 2010 and 2012 shooters.
  • Both releases will include the full campaign, multiplayer and Zombies modes, suggesting feature parity with the original PS3 versions.
  • PlayStation is the only new target because Xbox already runs both games through backward compatibility, while PS5 players previously lacked native access to the PS3 titles.
