Alongside other perks and amazing surprises, PlayStation users will get something special. It will be exclusive to PS5 only, for those who have pre-ordered MW3 in advance. For the uninitiated, a special Operator named Lockpick will be available for free in the game after launch. She will appear in the Operator menu once the game goes live.

Going by her name itself, the Operator appears to be a huge lockpicker. As of now, there’s not much information available in relation to this PlayStation-only character. Hopefully, the devs will unleash certain updates about the rest of her Operator bundle, if there’s one.

What’s interesting to note is that the release of Lockpick is the last time players will see a platform-exclusive content for a new Call of Duty. This tradition will end from next year. It’s because Activision is now owned by Microsoft. Also, Xbox boss Phil Spencer has already confirmed that there won’t be any special favor given to a certain console in the future. Everyone will receive the same content on all the devices from 2024 onwards.
