Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 launched digitally on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in August 2026, following an announcement in June 2026 by Activision [1, 2, 3]. Both games are priced at $40 each, with separate season passes costing around $30. A temporary PlayStation Plus discount reduces game prices to about $20 and season passes to $9-$10 through August 6, 2026 [2, 3].
The re-releases include campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies modes, but both ports lack some original features. Black Ops 1 does not have Wager Matches or Theater Mode, while Black Ops 2 is missing League Play. Despite these omissions, the emblem editor remains available in both [1, 2].
These ports are basic and show no major graphical upgrades, no field-of-view sliders, and no support for 120 frames per second, according to reports [3]. Online servers for the original games faced hacking problems, so the new ports offer a fresh start but do not support crossplay between platforms [2].
An anonymous Reddit user expressed frustration over needing to repurchase the downloadable content, saying, "Bruh, you have to buy the DLC again?" [3].
The temporary PlayStation Plus price discounts are set to end on August 6, 2026, after which the full $40 game price and $30 season pass price will resume [2, 3]. Players seeking the Black Ops experience on current PlayStation consoles will have access to campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies modes, but some missing features and the lack of enhancements may impact the experience.
