Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops II Are Finally Coming to PS5 This July

Two of the most iconic Call of Duty entries in history are finally making their way to PlayStation. Treyarch has officially confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010) and Call of Duty: Black Ops II (2012) are being ported to PS4 and PS5, with both games launching in July 2026.

The Games PlayStation Players Have Been Locked Out Of

This is genuinely a big deal for the PlayStation community. Black Ops and Black Ops II have been playable on modern Xbox hardware through Xbox’s backwards compatibility for years, and they’ve been available on PC via Steam. But PlayStation players — on PS4 and PS5 — have had no way to access either game on current hardware. Today that changes.

Treyarch made the announcement via their official X account, with the studio confirming that “the original Black Ops and Black Ops 2 are being ported to PlayStation in July, courtesy of our partners at Iron Galaxy,” as relayed in reporting by GamesRadar.

Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies — All Included

Both ports include the full package. No modes cut, no “campaign-only” release like we’ve seen elsewhere.

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops — the Cold War-era campaign that shocked players with its narrative twists, plus the multiplayer that defined a generation, and the Kino der Toten and Five zombie maps that launched the Zombies phenomenon.
  • Call of Duty: Black Ops II — a futuristic campaign with branching story choices, the best competitive multiplayer Black Ops ever delivered, and a Zombies mode that built on Origins and Tranzit to create the most expansive undead experience of the series.

File sizes have been confirmed: Black Ops at 22.7GB and Black Ops II at 30.3GB. Plan your storage accordingly.

What to Expect — and What Not to Expect

Treyarch and Iron Galaxy are delivering direct ports, not remasters. There will be no dramatic texture reworks or modern quality-of-life overhauls. These games will look and feel like you remember them, running natively on modern hardware. That’s a fair trade for titles that are 14–16 years old and still hold up remarkably well — especially in multiplayer and Zombies.

Iron Galaxy knows what they’re doing here. The studio has previously handled console ports of Diablo III, Overwatch, and Fallout 76, so technical execution should be solid. A specific date in July has not yet been announced, and pricing information has not been confirmed either.

Last Words

Singapore is a PlayStation-heavy market, and COD has a loyal following here that stretches back to the Black Ops era. If you’ve never had a chance to experience these two on PlayStation hardware — or want to revisit Zombies with your crew on PS5 — July is looking like a good month.
