Black Ops 6 feature is skipping last-gen - and CoD fans are happy about it

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I must confess, I find myself at a crossroads with this latest development regarding Theater Mode in Black Ops 6. On one hand, I am thrilled about its return; on the other, I am disheartened by the fact that it will only be available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series consoles.


prep yourself for some popcorn as Call of Duty whisks us back to the movie theater! Fortunately, it’s not just the Zombies map from Kino der Toten filled with the undead that we might encounter in Black Ops 6, but rather, Treyarch has decided to bring back the much-anticipated Theater Mode.

Back in the day with the 2010 release of Black Ops, Call of Duty took a significant leap forward by introducing Theater Mode, making it simpler than ever for gamers like me to showcase our thrilling victories. Just as Zombies mode has become a must-have feature in Treyarch games, Theater Mode has left its mark on the franchise. And with Black Ops 6 on the horizon, I can’t wait to see the Call of Duty community gather and create memorable moments once more!

News that Theater Mode is returning is a big win for Call of Duty fans, with us including it in our list of 11 things we’re most excited for in Black Ops 6. However, it comes with the caveat that it will only be available for PC players and those on the PS5 and Xbox Series. 

Despite Black Ops 6 being compatible with both new and older console generations, it’s important to note that PlayStation 4 and Xbox One users won’t have access to Theater Mode. Instead, they’ll find themselves munching on popcorn that’s lost its freshness from the floor, as Theater Mode is not accessible on these platforms. This limitation has been clarified in an Activision blog post: “Theater Mode is not supported on previous-generation consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One).”

On the Black Ops 6 Reddit, fans generally view the absence of last-generation Theater Mode as a positive development. One user humorously commented, “If you’re using an old-gen console, I bet you won’t be making clips at all, lol,” while another chimed in with, “They would surely try and post about how poor the performance is here.”

Expressing concern about the performance of a last-generation Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, someone suggested, “The entire game should be designed for current-generation consoles only, as another user commented, “I’m on PlayStation 4 and I completely agree, it’s unfair that they’re prioritizing last-generation console users. frankly, I’ll just upgrade my system.

It’s clear that many gamers are still finding it difficult to obtain next-generation consoles due to supply problems or are hesitant to pay the $500 price tag, leaving the PS4 and Xbox One in a precarious position. With discussions already revolving around their successors, these two platforms may be nearing the end of their lifespan. Many believe that Call of Duty 6 will mark the last release for these consoles.

As games like Starfield and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth move exclusively to the newest generations of consoles, it’s clear that the landscape is shifting. However, considering that both the PS5 and Xbox Series are nearing their fourth birthdays, it seems reasonable that we might have been anticipating this transition for some time now.
