In this segment, the YouTuber shares information on the best way to play classic Call of Duty games in 2023. After extensive research, the conclusion is that playing on Xbox consoles, especially the Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X, is preferable due to backward compatibility and a larger player base.

Despite the lower cost of playing on PlayStation, the ease of use and large community on Xbox makes it the better choice, especially with Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision.
