Is Call of Duty: Black Ops II cross-platform?
Call of Duty: Black Ops II crossplay
No Call of Duty: Black Ops II doesn't have crossplay: each platform family has its own players. Xbox Series and Xbox One players can play together.
Black Ops II (2012) has no crossplay: PC, PlayStation and Xbox each have their own players.
Activision re-released it on PS4 and PS5 on July 9, 2026 (without DLC, Ranked, leaderboards or Theater). PS4 and PS5 copies of the re-release don't play together, and neither connects to the original PS3 version. A September 2026 update moved PlayStation multiplayer to dedicated servers.
On Xbox, the Xbox 360 version plays on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S through backward compatibility, using the same Xbox 360 servers and stats.
