Early details regarding Activision’s next wave of PlayStation-exclusive content forCall of Dutyhave been shared. Yet more platform-exclusive DLC is going to be coming to bothCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2andCall of Duty: Warzone 2, despite ongoing controversy surrounding the situation. As with previous exclusive content drops on PlayStation platforms, the upcomingCall of Dutyofferings won’t be particularly substantial.Call of Dutyplayers on PS4 and PS5 will appreciate receiving some free content, nonetheless.Call of Dutyremains one of the most popular franchises in the world and that’s due in part to it remaining multi-platform. Even so, PlayStation remains the most popular of the platforms thatCall of Dutyis released on. In part because Activision acknowledges that popularity, and also because PlayStation wants to keep it that way, infrequentDLC is released exclusively for PlayStation users. These releases are historically decried by PC and Xbox users, and also some fair-minded PlayStation fans, who think platform-exclusive content is wrong. That hasn’t stopped or slowed the practice, however.RELATED:Sony Is Worried About Call of Duty Quality on PlayStation if Xbox Acquires the FranchiseIn the latest announcement regarding thenextCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2andCall of Duty: Warzone 2season, the first details for a new round of PlayStation-exclusiveCall of Dutycontent were released. A brief mention of a Season 04 Combat Pack was made, along with a short description.

The confirmation of new PlayStation-exclusive content forCall of Dutyis unlikely to create as much controversy as past announcements once did.
