Long before Black Ops 7 was officially released, rumors that Call of Duty will continue to support PS4 and Xbox One until 2026 have been circulated, and the release of the first trailer of the game at the beginning of this year further confirmed this news.Fans immediately questioned why Treyarch had to restrict the series from hardware performance 12 years ago.Although its biggest competitor, Battlefield 6, will be developed specifically for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC platforms, Treyarch has finally explained why it continues to support the old platform.

Even though PS4 is still receiving system updates after 12 years, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S have entered the middle and late stages of their life cycle, and few people believe that old consoles can still receive support from new works.Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is just one of many new works that are still compatible with old platforms. Treyarch pointed out in an interview with CharlieIntel: "There are still an astonishing number of players using these platforms," ​​and admitted that "we can still ensure the integrity of the core game experience, but the visual performance really cannot reach the level of the new platform."

The specific number of players who still use old consoles to play Call of Duty has not been disclosed, but this number is obviously enough to prompt Treyarch and other Activision studios to continue to provide support.This kind of situation is not an isolated case: "Resident Evil: Response" which is currently scheduled to be launched on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Switch on February 27, 2026 is also rumored to be launched on PS4 version; "Marvel Contest", a real-time service game that just set off this month, has also been launched on the PS4 platform.

Although Black Ops 7 continues to support the old platform, many players are still looking forward to news about the Switch2 version.During its acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft announced a decade-long cooperation with Nintendo, promising to introduce the new Call of Duty work to the Switch platform.However, two years have passed, and this promise has not been fulfilled.
