In 2016, Activision announced that Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare would be exclusive to current-gen consoles, leaving behind older systems like PS3 and Xbox 360. This decision marked a notable transition in how console generations were supported. Compared to the previous transition where such support lasted three years, the current generation has seen extended overlapping support. Major franchises like FIFA, Madden NFL, and WWE have continued to release games for older consoles well into the next generation, exhibiting a more prolonged life cycle for the previous-gen consoles.
Activision's 2016 decision to support only current-gen consoles marked a shift in gaming, as overlap between console generations became less common in subsequent releases.
Unlike the previous console transition, where Call of Duty had three years of overlapping support, this generation has seen longer lifespans for older consoles across multiple franchises.
