05Why it matters

The editorial take

The two PS3-era titles are among the most beloved entries in the Call of Duty franchise, and fan demand for modern PlayStation ports has circulated for years. The announcement validates months of leaks and subreddit speculation, and signals Activision's continued push to monetize classic COD titles across platforms.

these are two of the most-requested COD ports ever. years of subreddit rumors and leaked store pages just got vindicated. activision clearly wants your nostalgia money on modern playstation.
