Activision has announced the different editions and confirms that those who want to upgrade to the next generation will have to pay extra money.
2K Games opened the ban with NBA 2K21, but it was not the only company that chose not to offer a simple and free upgrade from the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions to the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5. 505 Games has decided that the Control first buyers will not be able to do the same if they do not acquire the Ultimate version, which is basically a definitive edition with all the DLCs. And in that context, Activision has uncovered the different editions of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Something that is striking is that the upgrade to the new generation will not take place without the player tightening his wallet a little more.
Editions in physical format
Without going into the different extra contents that are included in the different editions announced, it should be noted that both on Xbox One and on PlayStation 4 players will be able to choose between two different options. The first of them is basically Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War for the present generation of consoles. If you put the disc in Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, what you will get is the current version working through backward compatibility. That is, without improvements. Its price? 69.99 euros, the standard.
The second boxed option incorporates both versions in the package, so you can enjoy the game on the new platforms with the specific improvements that have been introduced. How could it be otherwise, this version will be less economical. The player will have to pay 74.99 euros.
The two versions.
In digital format
We find a similar scenario. If we pay 69.99 euros, we will access the Standard Edition, which only comes with the product for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X generation. On the other hand, if we opt for the Multigenerational Lot (74.99 euros), we can enjoy the improvements in the next consoles. The Definitive Edition (99.99 euros) also offers this possibility, in addition to other special extras.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will be released on November 13 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. Its release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is also planned for 2020, but will be released later.
