With Battlefield 6 expected to release in October, Call of Duty faces a fierce battle to claim the title of most-played multiplayer game this year. However, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, expected to be released in November, looks poised to rise to the challenge with full cross-platform and cross-progression support.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Brings Cross-Platform Support

Black Ops 7, like its predecessors, offers full cross-platform support. Five years after the launch of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, the game remains cross-generational. This allows PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC players to team up and compete together regardless of platform.

The game also brings back cross-progression. This feature allows players to transfer weapon skins, calling cards, prestige levels, and other customizations from one platform to another. This feature is particularly convenient for players switching from PlayStation 4 or Xbox One to a next-generation console or PC. However, to take advantage of this advantage, you must re-purchase the game on the other platform.

These strategic moves allow Call of Duty to maintain a strong presence against its rival, Battlefield 6, by maintaining a strong player base. Black Ops 7 brings the competition directly to the virtual battlefield, leaving no physical or virtual boundaries between players.
