Activision is the second publisher to commit to a $70 price for – at least one – of its next-gen games.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n Following in the footsteps of Take-Two\/2K Games, Activision has now confirmed that the standard edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War<\/strong> is priced $70 on PS5 and Xbox Series X.<\/p>\n In a blog post<\/a> breaking down the game’s different editions, the company tucked that detail towards the end of the page. This makes Black Ops Cold War the second next-gen game, after NBA 2K21<\/a>, to have a starting price of $70 on next-gen consoles.<\/p>\n Because Activision has never talked about this price increase publicly, we’re not yet sure if all of its next-gen games will also start at $70. In 2K Games’ case, at least, the publisher was hesitant to confirm a flat increase to $70 across its entire catalogue<\/a>, opting instead to set prices on a game by game basis.<\/p>\n This obviously doesn’t mean Activision will follow suit, but it’s something to consider. NBA 2K, and Call of Duty are sort of in a similar boat here, in that they’re among their respective publishers’ biggest games every year, so you may not necessarily see the same attitude towards other, future Activision-published games.<\/p>\n
