Call of Duty 2026 Drops PS4, Xbox One Support

Activision posted on the Call of Duty social channels that the 2026 title will not launch on last-generation consoles. The official message specifically ruled out PlayStation 4; it did not name Xbox One.

The game is confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC only. The title has been removed from Xbox Game Pass.

Infinity Ward is leading development on the 2026 entry, which is expected to return to the Modern Warfare line. The publisher has not provided a formal reveal, release date or system requirements.

The franchise’s run on eighth-generation Xbox hardware began with Call of Duty: Ghosts in 2013 and continued through a sequence of annual releases. Last year’s Black Ops 7 was released as a cross-generation title; the 2026 release ends that 13-game run on Xbox One.

The official post did not include details about cross-play, platform-specific features or precise launch timing. Activision and Infinity Ward have not released further technical or multiplayer information.

Separately, industry discussion about next-generation platforms such as Microsoft’s Project Helix is ongoing, but the companies have not connected those conversations to the platform choices for the 2026 game.
