What does cross-gen bundle mean for modern warfare?
The world of gaming is evolving at an unprecedented rate, and the term "cross-gen bundle" is a topic of significant interest. A cross-gen bundle is a collection of video games that allows players to own and play multiple versions of a game, across different console generations, using the same game license.
Key differences:
When buying a game, we typically come across three primary options:
- The regular Xbox One and PS4 versions, which run on the current gen consoles
- A newer Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions, designed specifically for the latest gen consoles
- The Cross-Gen Bundle, which combines the previous two options
A cross-gen bundle grants the user access to both the current-gen (Xbox One/PS4) and next-gen (Xbox Series X/S/PS5) versions of the game. No extra effort required, and you don’t need multiple accounts!
Modern Warfare and its cross-gen bundle:
One example of this cross-gen bundle is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, where buying the bundle entitles the user to:
- Access to both the current-gen Xbox One and PS4 versions
- A narrative-driven single-player campaign, multiplayer combat, and special co-op modes
- Ability to play with friends on either platform
- Upgradeable visuals, optimized for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 performance
GTA and Crossplay:
Unlike Modern Warfare 2, GTA Online, on the other hand, has a separate path when it comes to cross-play, not having official crossplay features implemented as of yet. *For a better experience in the current online modes on either PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation, ensure compatibility.
Old Gen, New Gen, Cross Gen and Everything Else:
Before buying the bundle or playing games with your pals on a specific console generation or version:
Understand these concepts:
- Xbox Series X/S/PS5 is next-generation, where visuals are significantly more immersive.
- Xbox One and PS4 represent current-gen devices with smoother graphics, although inferior compared to newer models.
- Xbox Series S, on the other hand, acts like an updated Xbox One with upgraded power and additional memory.
