The next Call of Duty game, possibly named Black Ops 8, will not be released on old-gen Xbox and PlayStation consoles. According to the official X account of Call of Duty.
Not sure where this one started, but it’s not true. The next Call of Duty is not being developed for PS4.

Games like PUBG and Battlefield 6 have already dropped support for older consoles. While games like Fortnite, EA Sports titles, and Minecraft continue to support older consoles. It is important to note that hardware requirements for Fortnite and Minecraft are much lower than those of the newer Call of Duty games.
Players on older consoles are at a clear disadvantage as current-gen consoles offer a more responsive 120Hz mode, while the PS4 and Xbox One struggled to reach a consistent 60 FPS on 2024’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
