Activision released PS5 and PS4 ports of Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II on July 10, 2026, without prior fanfare. Each game is priced at 5,900 yen including tax, and PlayStation Plus subscribers can purchase them at 50 percent off until August 7, bringing the price to 2,950 yen. The ports include the single-player campaign, competitive multiplayer, and the Zombies horde mode.

Certain features from the originals, such as Wager Match and Theater Mode in Black Ops, have been removed. The games are also available on PC and Xbox platforms.
