Black Ops PS4/PS5 Ports Charged as Premium with Minimal Upgrades

Activision charges £35 ($40) per game for the PS4/PS5 ports of Black Ops 1 and 2 (£70 total) with separate DLC packs, and PS Plus discounts temporarily lower the price. Digital Foundry deems the releases low effort, offering little more than 1080p output with no 4K/120Hz, no anti-aliasing, and no modern features (FOV slider, separate sensitivities). Cross-gen matchmaking is confirmed, and season pass owners can play with non-owners, but DLC maps still require purchase. Critics say the upgrades aren’t worth the cost for what amounts to plain ports rather than remasters.

Critics say the content doesn’t justify the price, and some Super Deluxe Edition buyers feel misled since the DLC isn’t included.
