The official brand recently posted to social media that the &#8220;next Call of Duty is not being developed for PS4.&#8221; The post didn&#8217;t specifically mention Xbox One, but I&#8217;m not sure why a developer would waste resources on the less popular of the two.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Call of Duty was one of the last big franchises developing for the aging console generation. The previous entry, <em>Call of Duty: Black Ops 7<\/em>, was available for just about everything, including PS4 and Xbox One.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-dnt=\"true\" align=\"center\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Not sure where this one started, but it&#8217;s not true. The next Call of Duty is not being developed for PS4.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Call of Duty (@CallofDuty) <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CallofDuty\/status\/2051391506699678107?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"noopener\">May 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On one hand, this is the way of the console world. The PS5 and Xbox X\/S are nearly six years old at this point and ensuring modern games can run on older consoles can limit some features from all versions. It&#8217;s a balancing act.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On the other hand, the economy is in the dumpster and a lot of people simply can&#8217;t afford the PS5 or Xbox Series X\/S. This is further compounded by the AI-fueled RAM crisis, which has led to numerous price hikes. A standard disc-based PS5 now costs $650, which is $150 more than the launch price. Again, this console came out in 2020. The Xbox Series X\/S machines have also shot up in cost since launch.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Unsurprisingly, the poor economic conditions and the increased cost of gaming consoles has put a dent in sales. Sony recently reported that sales of the PS5 dropped 16 percent during the 2025 holiday season when compared to 2024. Conventional wisdom indicates that it&#8217;s long past time to sunset last-gen consoles, but we don&#8217;t exactly live in conventional times.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 - Official Teaser | Xbox Games Showcase 2025\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dZdRDyYGoQg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In any event, there is a new Call of Duty expected for this year, though we don&#8217;t have any official details. Rumors have indicated it&#8217;ll be <em>Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4<\/em>. Activision Blizzard dropped a teaser for <em>Black Ops 7<\/em> in June of last year.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, Call of Duty will no longer be a day one franchise for Xbox Game Pass. This is yet another way in which keeping up with the new games has gotten more expensive.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n    &#13;<br \/>\n<\/article>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2165363\/the-next-call-of-duty-is-not-coming-to-ps4-or-presumably-xbox-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; &#13; It looks like new Call of Duty games will no longer be coming to last-gen platforms like the PS4&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":50322,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[965,613,966,21373,162],"class_list":["post-50320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-call","tag-coming","tag-duty","tag-ps4","tag-xbox","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50320"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50320\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/50322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
