As part of its long-running collaboration deal with Activision, Sony has revealed all the PlayStation-exclusive features that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II players will receive on that platform. PS5 and PS4 players who preordered Modern Warfare II through the PlayStation Store can grab the Oni Operator Pack from today, which includes the unique specialist and a high-level weapon blueprint that can be used in the game and in the upcoming battle royale Warzone 2.

Exclusive benefits for PlayStation members include boosts to help level up profiles in multiplayer, extra loadouts, and a big increase in weapon XP if players group up in a PlayStation Party:

Modern Warfare II has rolled out across the world, with a number of players having early access to the game's campaign as a preorder bonus. As one of the biggest franchises in the world, Call of Duty has been the center of attention in Microsoft's bid to acquire Activision Blizzard, with Sony regularly criticizing the deal.

The home of PlayStation has claimed that if the series were to become an Xbox exclusive it would have a negative impact on its business, while Microsoft has repeatedly spoken about how it wants to keep the franchise on as many platforms as possible.

"Call of Duty specifically will be available on PlayStation. I'd love to see it on the Switch, I'd love to see the game playable on many different screens. Our intent is to treat CoD like Minecraft," Xbox head Phil Spencer said at The Wall Street Journal's Tech Live event this week. In previous talks, Spencer promised that Call of Duty will be available on PlayStation for years beyond the current deal, although Sony claims that this deal only works out to three extra years for its platform.
