After several months of anticipation and many rumors, the Xbox Games Showcase finally confirmed the release date for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, along with a lot of other features that this title will have. Activision listened to the fans and will again incorporate a well-developed story mode, in addition to a ton of extra content like the classic multiplayer and the famous zombie mode.

Thanks to this game’s Reddit community, it was revealed that this title will feature something that brings it back to its origins with a touch of nostalgia.

The game will have split screen mode, so players can use any mode compatible with and play on the same platform, just like in 2008 and onwards. Over time, the franchise’s recent games have neglected and even forgotten this feature.

The split screen feature will only be available for two players on the same platform. On the other hand, it was also confirmed that only current-generation hardware can achieve this; the PS4 and Xbox One will be excluded.

This feature’s exclusion of the previous generation has disappointed many fans. This news quickly sparked a social media discussion about the neglect of past-generation hardware owners.

Many users on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) expressed dissatisfaction over the exclusion of previous-generation platforms, while others highlighted the growing challenge of adapting new games to outdated hardware. The current industry is in a complicated position, as many players still use past-generation platforms, transitioning to newer hardware slower than previous periods.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will arrive on October 25 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. This will be the first game in the franchise to hit Game Pass on day one since Activision’s acquisition by Microsoft.

This particular title will be set in the 1990s as a direct sequel to the events that occurred in Cold War, the previous game Treyarch made for the saga. Fans are very excited to try this game.
