Classic shooters Call of Duty Black Ops and Psi‑Ops launch on PlayStation 4 and 5

Activision has re‑released Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2 as native ports for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The games are unchanged from their original versions and are sold at a premium price, prompting criticism that a true remaster would have been more appropriate.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has also brought the 2004 PS2 title Psi‑Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The game is offered on the PlayStation Store for $20 and is available through PS Plus Premium. This release adds trophies, including a Platinum trophy, for the first time. User reviews rate the port highly, with a 4.71 out of 5 average score.

Both releases give newer console owners the chance to play these older shooters, though each has drawn discussion about the value of simple ports versus more extensive updates.
