Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is heading to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC on November 13. This year's installment of the long-running military shooter series includes a campaign, along with multiplayer, Zombies, and a continuation of Warzone. It's available to preorder now. As usual, you can purchase Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War in a variety of editions. Notably, one new edition is the cross-gen bundle, which lets you play the game on current-gen hardware, and when PS5 and Xbox Series X arrive, you'll be able to play on the respective next-gen console with all the visual upgrades and shorter loading times. The standard edition will be backwards-compatible on both next-gen consoles as well, but without the next-gen upgrades.
