The ports are being handled in partnership with Iron Galaxy. Both titles will include all three modes: Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies. The original Black Ops, released in 2010, is set during the Cold War and follows CIA operatives including Alex Mason. It introduced the iconic map Nuketown, which became a series staple. The sequel, Black Ops II, released in 2012, spans two time periods, the 1980s and 2025, and features the series' first multiple-ending campaign based on player choices. Specific details about which PlayStation hardware (such as PS5 or PS4) will be supported and pricing have not been disclosed.","whyItMatters":"The ports bring two of the most acclaimed entries in the Call of Duty franchise to modern PlayStation hardware with full Zombies mode intact, addressing long-standing backward compatibility gaps.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe announcement was made via Treyarch\u0026#39;s official X account on June 17, 2026, with a post that read: \u0026#34;It\u0026#39;s official: the original Black Ops and Black Ops 2 are being ported to PlayStation in July, courtesy of our partners at @IronGalaxy.\u0026#34; The post included a handshake emoji.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIron Galaxy, the studio handling the ports, has previously worked on several Call of Duty titles.
