Black Ops 1 y 2 PlayStation ports released y price revealed

Call of Duty confirmed pricing for its Black Ops ports on PlayStation, revealing exactly what the long wait will cost fans.

Black Ops and Black Ops 2 spent over a decade shut out of PlayStation hardware, available only on dusty PS3s or borrowed Xbox logins. That exile ended this week, and Activision finally confirmed the numbers fans had been waiting on since the original June announcement. Here’s exactly what they’ll pay.

Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops 2 launched on PS4 and PS5 this week, priced at $40 apiece.

PlayStation Plus subscribers got a break, though, with each game discounted to $20 for a limited time. The season pass told a similar story. Activision priced it at $30 per game, cut to $10 for PS Plus members, and neither the base price nor the sale price included any of the map pack DLC.

The ports arrived as faithful recreations rather than remasters, carrying over the original campaigns, multiplayer, and Zombies modes without so much as a texture touch up.

Dataminers spotted evidence the games now run on modern PlayStation Network infrastructure instead of the old PS3 backend, a small mercy for anyone who remembers how overrun the Xbox backward compatibility versions became with hackers and modded lobbies, but Treyarch and Iron Galaxy kept the whole rollout quiet, never confirming an exact date until the store listings simply went live.
