Earlier today, a brand-new patch rolled out for Call of Duty: Warzone. Code embedded within the update has since been picked apart by dataminers to seemingly reveal COD: Black Ops Cold War?s release date and multiplayer reveal details. However, of special interest is intel concerning the title?s different editions. Such information most notably suggests Black Ops Cold War won?t offer a free upgrade to next-gen for those who pick up current-gen copies. Instead, players who want cross-gen access will have to either purchase a Cross-Gen Bundle or Ultimate Edition.
This reported tidbit comes courtesy of leaker ModernWarzone on Twitter. Images posted by the account note that a Cross-Gen Bundle will exist, alongside a Standard Edition. Naturally, this hints that a Standard version will not see players receive a next-gen upgrade, even if they buy a PS4/Xbox One copy of the game first. ModernWarzone?s post is as follows:
PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]};

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], []).addSize([750, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([980, 0], [[300, 250]]).build(); PB.gptStandAlone['ros_300x250_p_slot4_1598364238'] = googletag.defineSlot('/4403/cr/playstationlifestyle/ros', [[300, 250]], 'ros_300x250_p_slot4_1598364238')
