As Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the best action shooters of the year, owners of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are wondering will Modern Warfare 3 be on last gen consoles. Luckily, we have some answers for you.
There was some confusion about the release for the last gen consoles. As MW3 was not listed for Xbox One on the official Xbox website. Was that just a false alarm?
Will Modern Warfare 3 Be Playable on Last Gen Consoles?
Yes, the alarm was false, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 will most definitely be on last gen consoles. As the current gen consoles have been around for at least three years, it was a reasonable concern. However, it has been confirmed on various official websites that last gen is most definitely supported. If you check the online shops for Xbox and PlayStation you will see that Modern Warfare 3 will be released their last gen consoles (Xbox One and PS4, respectively).
Last Gen or Current Gen Consoles?
As, at the moment, more people own last gen consoles than current gen, it is a reasonable move by Activision to include both generations. If you are on last gen console you will be getting at least one more year of Call of Duty. But, as we move forward and technology advances, it is expected that new games be more current gen oriented. It will be harder for older consoles to keep up with the demands of newer games. We expect we will see fewer and fewer games released for last gen in the upcoming years. Modern Warfare 3 will be available on Steam, Battlenet, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
