Furthermore, the Call of Duty game in 2026 will be a day one release for the Xbox Prime. As of now, it has not been confirmed that Xbox Prime is going to be the marketing name of the console or it is just a codename. If the rumor holds any truth then we can get to see an official announcement from Microsoft’s side by the end of this year or maybe earlier than that.

Apart from that release timeline and the possible name, it will be a bliss to see the next Call of Duty game getting a day one release on the next-gen console.

Nonetheless, one thing that we already know is that Microsoft will leave no stone unturned to make the console a beast in terms of performance so that it can be future-ready to compete with the next generation of PlayStation consoles – Yes, here we are referring to the PS6 or the PlayStation 6 that we can get to see in a couple of years maybe.
