Activision may not be done bringing older Call of Duty games back to modern PlayStation consoles. A new leak suggests Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 could be in line for PS4 ports, which would also make them playable on PS5 through backward compatibility.
The finding comes from Game Rant, which reported that PS4 listings for both Modern Warfare games appeared through Orbis Patches, a public PlayStation update database. The listings reportedly include 1.02 patches with creation dates from July 2025, but Activision has not announced Modern Warfare 2 or Modern Warfare 3 ports and no release window has been confirmed.
Modern Warfare could follow Black Ops back to PlayStation
The leak arrives just as Activision is already preparing to revive part of Call of Duty's PS3-era library on Sony hardware. Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 are coming back to PlayStation in July, with Iron Galaxy handling those ports. Treyarch has described those releases as ports, not remasters, which sets expectations for straightforward access instead of a visual overhaul.
That context makes the Modern Warfare leak more believable, but it does not make it official. Orbis Patches can reveal useful signs of backend PlayStation activity, especially when update records appear before a store listing or announcement, yet database activity is still not the same as a public release plan. Activision could announce the ports later, delay them or never release them at all.
If the two games do arrive, the draw is obvious. The original Modern Warfare 2 remains one of Call of Duty's defining entries, with a campaign and multiplayer suite that still shape how fans talk about the series. Modern Warfare 3 closed out that original trilogy in 2011, carrying the same era of fast-paced multiplayer into its final chapter before the franchise moved deeper into yearly subseries rotations.
Pricing and DLC support are still open questions. The upcoming Black Ops ports have already raised eyebrows because recent store changes suggested the games could cost $40 each before DLC. Activision has not said whether any possible Modern Warfare ports would use the same model, include add-ons, sell map packs separately or support online play in exactly the same way as the original releases.
The timing would also give PlayStation owners two very different pieces of Call of Duty nostalgia in the same stretch. Activision is moving the current series forward with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, while these rumored ports would restore access to older entries from the franchise's Xbox 360 and PS3 peak years.
Until Activision confirms the listings, this remains a leak rather than an announcement. Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 have surfaced in PlayStation backend data, and Call of Duty's classic catalog push may extend beyond Black Ops.
