So here is everything you need to know about Black Ops 6 and the rumors last-gen release.
Is Black Ops 6 releasing on PS4 & Xbox One?

According to Insider Gaming’s report, the reason why the Xbox One doesn’t appear in GameStop’s listing is because the S|X version is a cross-generation version that will be playable on the Xbox One as well.
However, despite the leaks, Activision themselves is yet to confirm BO6’s release for last-gen consoles, but will most likely do so as part of the June 9 CoD Direct.
The past four CoD entries; Black Ops Cold War, Vanguard, MW2, and MW3 all released on last-gen consoles as well on the current gen, and Black Ops 6 looks to be following the same trend as well.
As for a Nintendo Switch release, although Microsoft did sign a 10-year agreement in February 2023 to bring CoD to the Switch, there hasn’t been any confirmation of BO6 coming to the Switch or Switch 2.
