  Artist's rendering of an average gamer after hearing they'll have to spend $10 extra for a next-gen copy of Black Ops: Cold War

Players who want to play the newly announced Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War on the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X will have to pay an additional $10 for the privilege. And whether fans agree with that call or not, a slew of versions and clarifications about physical copies isn't helping the messaging for today's news.

Following today's official reveal of the game , Activision is detailing three different versions of the title for pre-order ahead of a Nov. 13 launch:

• • Standard Edition ($59.99): The standard game available for Xbox One, PS4, or PC, complete with "cross generation, cross play and cross progression support" if you upgrade later.
  • Cross-Gen Bundle ($69.99): The Standard Edition with "a dual entitlement... which allows you to play on current (PS4, Xbox One) and next-generation consoles within the same console family (PS5, Xbox Series X)."

• Ultimate Edition ($89.99): Current and next-generation versions of the game, plus exclusive skins and a Season Pass. (also available on PC)

In addition to those digital packages, Activision also lists physical Standard Editions of the game, which will cost $59.99 for current-generation consoles and $69.99 for next-generation consoles. And while the Xbox Series X physical Standard Edition will include a copy for Xbox One, the PS5 physical edition will not include a copy for PS4.
