In a surprising but welcome twist, last-gen consoles are getting the latest installment of the Call of Duty franchise, Modern Warfare 3. With current-gen consoles being around for at least three years, players are wondering when would Activision fully commit to the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S and ditch last-gen.
Call of Duty fans who are still on last-gen consoles can breathe a sigh of relief that the upcoming title will be launching on PS4 and Xbox One. There was some confusion about the release on last-gen a few days ago.
The confusion started when content creator TheGamingRevolution noticed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was only listed on the Xbox Series X/S and not the Xbox One on the official Xbox website. The user then pointed out that a video on the official PlayStation YouTube channel confirmed that the upcoming installment will be released on the PS4 and PS5.
Thankfully, it was just a false alarm. Xbox has since updated its listing to include both the Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One. It may just have been a listing error on Microsoft's part, or even a strange new approach to push their newer hardware.
While we now know that the game will be coming to both last gen and current-gen, many fans are wondering when Activision would start moving away from the last-gen consoles. It looks like the PS4 and Xbox One will get at least one more year of Call of Duty.
