The original Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops 2 are now available natively on PS5 (and PS4) thanks to shadow-dropped new ports, and the prices haven't aged a day.
Call of Duty: Black Ops is $39.99 at base or $19.99 with PlayStation Plus through August 6. Its season pass comes with the First Strike, Escalation, Annihilation, and Rezurrection content packs, and is $29.99 or $9.89 with PlayStation Plus, also through August 6.
The same prices and limited-time PlayStation Plus promos apply to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 and its season pass, which includes four DLCs – Revolution, Uprising, Vengeance, and Apocalypse – along with the Nuketown Zombies map and an "Exclusive Calling Card - 'The Deuce.'"
Cross-platform multiplayer is notably not supported by these versions, which is one of several complaints circulating among Call of Duty fans, along with player base fragmentation resulting from the expansion packs being sold separately. Modern Warzone notes that Wager Matches and Theatre mode are also missing from the PlayStation ports.
All in all, post-discount, you could be spending as much as $140 to get everything in both games. On the one hand, this comes as no surprise; this is exactly how much these games and content packs cost on Steam, for comparison. The PS Plus deals do take the edge off, if only for now, and you will need a PS Plus sub to play online to begin with. It does feel kind of weird to pay this price for the season passes of 16- and 14-year-old games, I'll agree. After all, those seasons have long passed.
