In the mix of all the details surrounding Black Ops Cold War, Activision confirmed that the game will continue the include cross-play across all consoles. This, of course, means that players on Xbox One will be able to play with anyone on the PlayStation 4 or PC, and will even include playing against players on the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5.

Along with this confirmation, Black Ops Cold War will feature cross-progression, allowing players to take their unlocks and loadouts to any platform which is especially good for anyone upgrading to next-gen hardware. However, there is a catch to upgrading physical current-gen copies of the game that leaves Xbox One players at a disadvantage.

Fans upgrading to the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 have an easy way to enjoy Black Ops Cold War. Players will simply need to buy at least the higher-priced Cross-Gen Bundle that will give them access to the game on both current and next-gen consoles.

Additionally, the standard physical edition of Black Ops Cold War on PlayStation 4 can be inserted and played on a non-digital PlayStation 5 and be upgraded to a PlayStation 5 version through the PlayStation Store. Players on the Xbox One, however, will not have this option to upgrade, and will need to buy a specific Xbox Series X version of the game (Cross-Gen Bundle or Ultimate Edition) to enjoy the next-generation enhancements, which costs $10 more.

Xbox One fans should just look to buy the $69.99 Cross-Gen Bundle of Black Ops Cold War to have their bases covered. It seems like the standard physical edition of the game could leave players with quite a headache if they attempt to upgrade to next-gen consoles.

Cold War’s confusing structure isn’t alone. Recently, Control came under fire for announcing an Ultimate Edition of the game that would allow players to upgrade to next-gen consoles, however, fans who already own a copy Control have to re-buy the game’s Ulitmate Edition to get the free upgrade to the Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will be released on November 13 for PS4, Xbox, and PC with PS5 and Xbox Series X versions in development.
