Activision and Infinity Ward have officially announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, set to release on October 23, 2026, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. The game will not be available on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, marking a definitive shift away from last-generation hardware. The reveal was first reported by Eurogamer on May 28, 2026.
activision and infinity ward finally dropped the mw4 reveal. it's coming october 23, 2026 on series x/s, ps5, pc, and switch 2 — no ps4 or xbox one version. last gen is officially dead for cod.
This marks the first mainline Call of Duty title to skip last-generation consoles entirely, signaling the industry's full transition to current-gen hardware. With the Nintendo Switch 2 also included, it reflects a broader strategy to target newer platforms with higher performance capabilities. The move could pressure remaining last-gen holdouts to upgrade, especially given Call of Duty's massive install base.
this is the first mainline cod to fully ditch ps4 and xbox one. it's a big signal that the industry is done with last gen. including switch 2 is interesting too — nintendo's new console gets the full cod treatment right out the gate.
