Activision has confirmed that the recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 ports support crossplay between PS4 and PS5 players, alongside flexible matchmaking for Season Pass owners.
Activision has cleared up confusion surrounding the recently launched Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 ports, confirming that both titles fully support crossplay between PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players. The confirmation arrived via the official Call of Duty Update account on social media following widespread questions from the community as players jumped back into the classic lobbies.
Alongside the crossplay confirmation, Activision detailed how matchmaking handles legacy content. Players who own the original Season Pass can seamlessly matchmake with those who do not own the extra maps, ensuring that the active player base is not fractured across different queues. This approach removes a major historical barrier for older shooters, making it much easier to find full lobbies without running into restrictive playlist segmentation.
The unexpected resurgence of these classic titles highlights a broader trend of players seeking out nostalgic multiplayer experiences over modern live service fatigue. With strong sales figures and healthy player counts continuing years after their initial debut, keeping these communities connected across hardware generations is a welcome move.
