Call of Duty DLC coming first to PlayStation in 2015

The upcoming additional content for Call of Duty Black Ops 3 will be arriving first on PlayStation consoles after years of Xbox exclusivity

For the last five years the Xbox has dominated the Call of Duty experience, thanks to a deal giving Microsoft exclusive access to additional content and DLC ahead of PlayStation and PC platforms. But that deal is over, and its now time for PlayStation to come to the fore.

Now that Advanced Warefare is almost finished its run of additional content and Black Ops 3 is on the horizon, thing are about to change.

That means all DLC for Black Ops 3 will arrive on Sony’s console 30 days before anyone else. The landmark deal was announced at E3, and it also extends to bringing the first multiplayer beta for Black Ops 3 to PlayStation first.

For those gamers loyal to the franchise who have invested into the Xbox system it may be the cause of frustration but there’s no denying that Call of Duty publishers Activision have hitched their wagon to the biggest player around.

PlayStation console sales continue to dwarf those of Xbox and Activision already have a proven healthy relationship with Sony following a major deal for the release of Destiny in September 2014.

Black Ops 3 continues the rough storyline set out by the first game which released in 2010 but takes the action to the far-flung future of 2065 - that’s 40 years after the events of Black Ops 2.

The world of warfare has changed forever with the advent of augmented supersoldiers, more machine than man, fighting in the covert battlefields of a grim dystopia. You’ll use advanced new weaponry and armour to get the job done however you can.

Call of Duty Black Ops 3 is on PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC from November 6, 2015.
