Activision has actually finally revealed this years Call of Task title– Black Ops Cold War. It will introduce on November 13th, and Activision is making a huge deal about how its a cross-gen title for both PS5 and PS4, and Xbox One and Xbox Series X, in addition to PC.
To help make certain you avoid buying the wrong version and having to inadvertently pay two times for the same game, heres how the next-gen prices for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will work.
Currently, there are 10 versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War– and youre actually going to need to pay extra for the higher frame rate and faster load times that PS5 and Xbox Series X can use. Unlike PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, you cant just await a free spot. Next-gen console upgrades will be locked behind a paywall.
But if you plan to upgrade to PS5 or Xbox Series X this holiday, your purchase choice gets a little complicated.
Simply pick the phrases that describe you below, and Ill help you figure it out:
Ill be using PlayStation
I want goodies, not discs: The “Ultimate Edition” costs $90, provides you both Xbox and Xbox Series X digital copies, plus the battle pass and the “Land/Sea/Air Pack” with three operator skins, three weapon blueprints, and 3 vehicle skins.
I desire goodies, not discs: The “Ultimate Edition” costs $90, provides you both PS4 and PS5 digital copies, plus the fight pass and the “Land/Sea/Air Pack” with three operator skins, three weapon plans, and three car skins.
Ill be playing on Xbox
I desire to play digitally on PS4, and Im uncertain Im getting a PS5: $60 purchases you the “Digital Standard Edition” and you can still upgrade for $10 if you alter your mind.

I want a disc that will play on a PS5: The “Next-Gen Physical Standard Edition” costs $70; once again, youll require to purchase the more expensive PS5 with a disc drive.
I want a disc that will use my PS4 initially: Youll pay $60 for the “Physical Standard Edition,” and you can purchase a PS5 upgrade from the PlayStation Store for $10 later– if and only if you wind up buying a PS5 with a disc drive, since you will need to keep the PS4 disc in while you play. Plus, youll lose out on preorder bonuses.
I want to play digitally on Xbox One: $60 purchases you the “Digital Standard Edition” and you can update digitally for $10.
I desire a disc that will play on my Xbox One: You should most likely spend $70 for the next-gen Xbox Series X disc, aka “Physical Standard Xbox Series X edition,” since the cheaper $60 Xbox One disc cant get Series X upgrades at all. Both discs will play on both the Xbox One and Xbox Series X, however only the next-gen disc has the upgrades. Neither disc offers you preorder bonuses.
I already understand Im getting a PS5 but not sure Im spending for a disc drive: The “Cross-Gen Bundle” costs $70. No concerns about upgrades or discs, it comes with both PS4 and PS5 digital copies. However it doesnt come with a disc.
I already know Im getting a next-gen Xbox, but isnt a discless Xbox Series S coming? With the $70 digital-only “Cross-Gen Bundle,” you do not have to worry about discs or upgrades. It features both present and next-gen copies of the video game.
Ill be playing on Windows
Presently, there are 10 versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War– and youre actually going to have to pay extra for the greater frame rate and faster load times that PS5 and Xbox Series X can use. Unlike PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, you cant simply wait for a totally free spot. I want a disc that will play on my Xbox One: You must probably shell out $70 for the next-gen Xbox Series X disc, aka “Physical Standard Xbox Series X edition,” since the less expensive $60 Xbox One disc cant get Series X upgrades at all. Both discs will play on both the Xbox One and Xbox Series X, however just the next-gen disc has the upgrades. I currently know Im getting a next-gen Xbox, however isnt a discless Xbox Series S coming?
I desire to pay more for more goodies: The $90 “Ultimate Edition” adds the fight pass and the “Land/Sea/Air Pack” with 3 operator skins, 3 weapon blueprints, and 3 automobile skins.
At this minute, there appears to be no chance to pay simply $60 for a digital next-gen copy for the PS5 or Xbox Series X. Perhaps thats Activision trying to normalize $70 as the cost for next-gen titles?
NBA 2K21 also costs $70 on next-gen consoles, and its cross-gen bundle costs even more at $100. But other video game developers have promised free next-gen upgrades for their games, including Cyberpunk 2077, Hitman 3, Destiny 2, and Madden 21. And while Remedy Entertainment wont be providing a next-gen upgrade for the original version of Control, the games $40 Ultimate Edition will feature a complimentary next-gen digital upgrade too.
I desire to pay less for less goodies: The $60 “Standard Edition” simply features early access to the open beta plus a number of weapon blueprints.
I desire a disc that will use my PC: Tough luck, you can just buy it digitally from Battle.net. Theyre not making physical PC discs.
