Call of Duty: Black Ops 3
The firstCall of Dutygame to join the PlayStation Plus lineup wasCall of Duty: Black Ops 3, hitting the service three years after its launch.Call of Duty: Black Ops 3is one of the most feature-rich games in the entire series, offering fans a 4-player co-op campaign, more Zombies, and of course, the standardCall of Dutymultiplayer experience. Its story wasn’t the most well-received and someCall of Dutyfans never warmed up to the advanced traversal options that the later games provided, but it still has a dedicated group of players to this day.
What’s notable aboutCall of Duty: Black Ops 3is that it has been made available through PS Plus on two separate occasions. Besides being added to the PS Plus lineup in 2018,Call of Duty: Black Ops 3is also part of thePS Plus Collection on PS5. For those who may not be aware, the PS Plus Collection on PS5 gives players instant access to some of the most critically-acclaimed PS4 games, and they aren’t cycled out like most PS Plus games.

Call of Duty: WW2’s addition to the PS Plus lineup is notable because Sony revealed the game as a free PS Plus title ahead of time.
