Since 2013, every new Call Of Duty game has launched on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One but that’s set to change this year.

Over the weekend, Call Of Duty leaker @HeyImAlaix took to social media and claimed they’d heard reports the newest game was being “playtested” for PlayStation 4. A few hours later though, the official Call Of Duty account debunked the rumour . “Not sure where this one started, but it’s not true. The next Call Of Duty is not being developed for PS4.”

Another leaker @KeshavBhat claimed that Call Of Duty 2026 was being developed for last-gen consoles but that project was scrapped late last year, following the release of Black Ops 7 .

Last month, Microsoft confirmed new Call Of Duty games wouldn’t be available via Xbox Game Pass for a year as part of cost-cutting measures. The cost of the Ultimate tier subscription has also been slashed following last year’s controversial price hike . “Our players cover a wide breadth of geographies, preferences, and tastes, so while there isn’t a single model that’s best for everyone, this change responds to a lot of feedback we’ve gotten so far. We’ll continue to listen and learn,” Microsoft explained in a blog post.

The 2026 edition of Call Of Duty hasn’t been confirmed by Microsoft but it’s expected to be a sequel to 2023’s Modern Warfare 3 .

Meanwhile it’s rumoured that both the new Xbox (codename Project Helix ) and the PlayStation 6 will launch in 2027 though ongoing memory chip shortages may delay that .

In other news, the boss of Grand Theft Auto 6  publishers Take-Two Interactive has said the upcoming game won’t have any product placement or brand collabs .
