Which Version of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Should I Buy?
There are three versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War available, one of which is exclusive to consoles. Here’s what you can choose from:
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Standard Edition – $59.99 (XB1/PS4) | $69.99 (Series X/PS5)
Things are a bit confusing for folks who purchase the physical, Standard Edition of Black Ops for Xbox One or PS4 and want to upgrade to next-gen.
Here’s what we know:
- PlayStation owners can pay an upgrade fee on the PlayStation Store to access the PlayStation 5 version.
- Xbox owners cannot upgrade their physical copy to next-gen, but the Digital Standard Edition can be upgraded for $10.
- If you buy the $70 Xbox Series X standard edition, you’ll still be able to play it on Xbox One, but the PlayStation 5 version will not work on your PlayStation 4.
Also, note that the base game is $10 more expensive on both Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5.

If you know you’re going to upgrade to a next gen console at some point and want to avoid the hassle describe above, you can just opt for the Cross-Gen Edition of the game.
