The prices for the next-gen variant of games have been a topic of debate for a while now. Previously, 2K and other developers had announced the price hike for the next-gen editions of games, coming to Xbox Series X and PS5. Now, it looks like Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War will also be part of the said price hike, as confirmed on the official website.

Three versions of the game are available for pre-order at the moment. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will cost $69.99 on Xbox Series X and the same will include a copy of Xbox One. The ‘Cross-Gen edition’ will bring in what Microsoft had earlier promised.

Surprisingly, the price of the game is the same on PS5 as well. The game will retail for $69.99 and is the same Cross-Gen edition.

However, the standard editions for the current-gen consoles will retail at $59.99. If you plan on buying the current-gen edition now and upgrading to the next-gen later, you will have to shell out an additional $10 at the time.

This probably means that many other titles will follow the same pricing. Expect more developers to announce the same soon.

It is also easy to justify this hike since it is the first one in about two decades.
