CharlieIntel is reporting that Call of Duty 2025 could still come to last-generation consoles nearly five years after the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S cycle kicked off, at which point many expected the franchise to drop the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the annual franchise.
Call of Duty has long been a cross-generation series, with Call of Duty: Black Ops III for example releasing on PS3 and Xbox 360 alongside PS4 and Xbox One, which by that point had been out for two years. It now appears that Activision is planning on supporting last-generation hardware for this year’s outing, too.
Call of Duty 2025 could still release on PS4 and Xbox One, per sources. Supporting last-gen in 2025 is a wild decision, but the game is in development for the old consoles from what we’ve heard.

Activision hasn’t officially announced this year’s entry in the multi-million selling first-person shooter franchise, but a report in December 2023 claimed that the game will be a direct sequel to Black Ops 2 and is codenamed Saturn. Call of Duty 2025 is allegedly set five years after the events of Black Ops 2 in the year 2030, and will reportedly featuring remaster maps from Black Ops 2 to boot.
Call of Duty has a number of developers working on the franchise that rotate on a yearly basis, including Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer Games, Treyarch, and Raven Software. The series is now owned by Microsoft following the Xbox manufacturer’s acquisition of Activision, but Sony and Microsoft have inked a deal to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for the next decade.
