No, Modern Warfare 3 won’t be the CoD to finally skip PS4, Xbox One
There was never really any cause for alarm, but just in case you were worried, Modern Warfare 3 will indeed be available on PS4 and Xbox One.

Considering how practically everything about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 leaked ahead of time, fans have been a bit too trusting of so called insiders, even when they point out what could be mistakes or omissions, rather than actual leaks.
Nevertheless, there was a lot of chatter over the weekend that Modern Warfare 3 might actually be skipping last-gen consoles. A few things contributed to that belief. First, Activision never actually mentioned platforms in any of the trailers it released for Modern Warfare 3 - including the recent Makarov reveal trailer .
The publisher has also been surprisingly quiet about platforms in any of its official communication, and has not even said which of its studios will be leading development ( it’s reportedly Sledgehammer Games ).
Then, content creator TheGamingRevolution discovered that the Modern Warfare 3 listing on the Xbox store only mentions Xbox Series X/S, and not Xbox One. It has since been updated to include both .
What added to the confusion further was this trailer on the PlayStation YouTube channel which has both PS4 and PS5 in its title, leading others to believe that Modern Warfare 3 will be skipping Xbox One.
We know now that none of that is true, thanks to confirmation from IGN , and the aforementioned update to the store page.
Obviously, once pre-orders go live following the August 17 reveal event , things will be solidified. One other thing that we’re likely to hear about is the supposed PlayStation early access for a Modern Warfare 3 demo - which isn’t itself surprising, of course, but we’d like to get more details nonetheless.
Modern Warfare 3 is the first game in the long-running series to allow players to bring almost everything they’ve unlocked in Modern Warfare 2 into it on day one. The list includes weapons, attachments, operators, bundles, blueprints and so on.
Modern Warfare 3 is out November 10.
