As noted on the Activision blog, “an entire Multiplayer party (max of six) could be comprised of players who are playing the game across the available five platforms, including next and current generation consoles as well as PC.” That should eliminate any cross-play and cross-generation concerns you might have, assuming that the system works as intended. Simply put, you will be able to play Cold War with your friends regardless of which platform they’re on. The good news is that Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War does support cross-platform options such as cross-play and cross-progression. While that’s good news for Call of Duty fans who don’t want to upgrade to a next-gen platform just to play the latest entry in the hit shooter franchise, the game’s ambitious release strategy has rightfully raised questions about the extent of its cross-platform and cross-play capabilities.

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War isn’t just the first next-gen Call of Duty title: it’s a Call of Duty game that will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC at the same time when it’s released on Nov.
