Each game is priced at 5,900 yen including tax, and PlayStation Plus subscribers can purchase them at 50 percent off until August 7, bringing the price to 2,950 yen. The ports include the single-player campaign, competitive multiplayer, and the Zombies horde mode. They are straight ports, not remasters, and were handled by Iron Galaxy, the studio known for Switch ports of Skyrim and Overwatch and work on The Last of Us Part II Remastered. The original games launched in 2010 and 2012, respectively. According to reviews cited by Game Spark, the ports run well with fast loading and matchmaking, but the standard $40 price drew criticism, with some suggesting the discounted PS Plus price should have been the baseline. The PS5/PS4 versions do not support cross-play and require a PlayStation Plus subscription for multiplayer. Certain features from the originals, such as Wager Match and Theater Mode in Black Ops, have been removed. The games are also available on PC and Xbox platforms.","whyItMatters":"The quiet, bare-bones ports of two classic Black Ops titles, with no remastering and some removed features, suggest Activision is prioritizing minimal-effort re-releases to fill the PlayStation library rather than full remasters.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eTreyarch first announced the ports on June 18, about three weeks before release. Season passes for each game, including various DLC maps and content, are also on sale alongside the base game. The original Black Ops was the first Call of Duty title that Raven Software worked on, a studio that still co-develops the Black Ops series with Treyarch. Black Ops II introduced a branching storyline with multiple endings, a series first. The latest numbered entry in the Black Ops line, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, launched in November 2025. Iron Galaxy, the porting studio, also co-developed Fallout 76 and recently worked on the PC port of The Last of Us Part II Remastered alongside Naughty Dog and Nixxes Software. The PS5 and PS4 versions are download only. Overseas reviewer Synth Potato, in a review of the Black Ops II port, praised the fast loading and matchmaking but criticized the low resolution and the $40 price, saying the PS Plus discount price should have been the standard.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops II quietly landed on PS5/PS4 today.
