PS4 is facing the decisive stage of its life cycle, while PS5 dominates the market and the future of PS6 is already being projected. The console that defined an entire generation is starting to be left behind, and its catalog of AAA releases is shrinking rapidly.
In this context, a new release becomes a historic symbol. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 could be the last big-budget video game to arrive on Sony's system, according to specialized media outlets.
La PS4 enfrenta la etapa decisiva de su vida útil
Call of Duty leads PS4's farewell
Black Ops 7 will be released on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Although it is still coming to PS4, this fact takes on special significance. The console still has millions of active users, but fewer and fewer studios are investing in intergenerational development.
Curiously, the only major release for PS4 in this final stretch comes from Xbox. The company now controls the franchise after acquiring Activision Blizzard.
The transition is now irreversible
The gradual abandonment of the platform began some time ago, but the outlook for 2026 is clear. The industry is focused on taking advantage of the technical leap of the new generation, and Sony has already confirmed changes that accelerate the farewell.

Starting in January, games offered on PlayStation Plus will no longer be available on PS4. This marks a turning point for the console.
A golden era comes to an end
For more than ten years, PS4 was synonymous with global success, iconic exclusives, and sales records. However, technological progress is already pushing the hardware toward its definitive closure.
