Call of Duty 2026 Won’t Be On Last-gen

It’s official, folks; this year’s Call of Duty game will not be available on PS4, and presumably not on Xbox One, either. This will be the first time since Call of Duty: Ghosts that a new CoD game won’t launch on PS4.

Confirmation game from the official Call of Duty X account when it decided to address recent rumours that this years CoD was being playtested on PS4.

https://twitter.com/CallofDuty/status/2051391506699678107?s=20

“Not sure where this one started, but it’s not true. The next Call of Duty is not being developed for PS4”, said the account.

It doesn’t mention it, but presumably if the game isn’t being developed for PS4 then there won’t be an Xbox One version, either.

Last-gen consoles still have a stronger playerbase than you might expect. Last year Sony stated that as of mid-2025, PS5 monthly users had finally surpassed those using PS4. In other words, that’s a lot of potential sales that Call of Duty is missing out on, especially since the last couple of entries haven’t done so well on the sales front.

But the good news is that by ditching last-gen, the new games should have more room to spread their wings technologically speaking. At least, that’s the hope.

Microsoft Might Be Considering Removing Call Of Duty From Game Pass

When Microsoft hoovered up Activision-Blizzard for a terrifying sum of money, one of the biggest reasons was to feed the ever-hungry Game Pass with the biggest yearly release in the world, Call of Duty. But now, Microsoft is apparently considering removing the series from the subsciption.

https://www.youtube.com/live/B1cpze5029I?si=zss0xAquvopfGcyc&t=1986

Let’s be clear: this is just a rumour, stemming from Jez Corden of Window’s Central. According to Corden, who was speaking on the latest episode of his pesonal podcast: “it’llinteresting to see… if they take Call of Duty out of Game Pass this year, which is a possibility from what I’ve heard,”

Corden doesn’t mention exactly where he heard this, but he has proven connections within the industry, so presumably his source is inside of Microsoft or Activision-Blizzard.

Now that you’ve got the main snippet, let’s talk about the context that it was brought up in. For a good chunk of the episode, Corden is discussing Game Pass, the rumours of new tiers being introduced and the possibility of Xbox’s new boss bringing the pricing back down.

He explains that Microsoft internally uses a “member weighted” style formula to charge Game Pass for first‑party engagement, so a giant title like Call of Duty “vacuums up” a lot of that internal revenue, leaving less budget to bring in new games that help prevent churn. He also notes that putting Call of Duty day one into Game Pass hurts traditional Call of Duty sales at the same time, so the franchise is effectively damaging both Game Pass economics and CoD’s own business model.

From there he pivots into the pricing/tier question and says Microsoft may need more flexible bundles or tiers, suggesting that some “big service games” could be pushed into a higher, “super tier” while most games sit on a cheaper plan. In that context he throws out the idea that if Call of Duty is such a problem for the business, Microsoft should let people “get rid of Call of Duty” from their bundle and that he personally doesn’t need it. That leads into the line we’re interested in a bit later about the series potentially leaving the service completely.

On the one hand, it’s a big step backwards considering Call of Duty on Game Pass was one of the big reasons behind the acquisition of Activision-Blizzard. On the other hand, if the series’ removal also brought the price back down, people would probably be pretty happy to see it go.

It would also mean yet another massive u-turn for Microsoft, which they’ve already done so many of that I’m getting fucking dizzy, my dudes.

Unfortunately, we don’t have any official Call of Duty sales numbers to really see how much of a decline the series has seen, but we do have anecedotal evidence suggesting sales have dipped quite badly.
