Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is set to launch Friday, October 12 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. If you`re a fan of the series, you probably already knew that, but what you might not know is that PS4 owners can pick up some nice Black Ops 4-themed freebies. In fact, you don`t even need a PS4 to take advantage of some of them.All of the free items can be collected from PlayStation`s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Countdown to Launch page. You can scroll down to claim codes for Black Ops 4 PS4 avatars, as well as a dynamic Black Ops 4 PS4 theme. You can redeem these codes on the PlayStation Store, either in a browser or on your PlayStation 4 console itself.The theme gradually cycles between images of different specialists from the game, giving each one the slow-zooming `Ken Burns effect` treatment. The theme also tints your system icons Black Ops orange. Finally, the Countdown to Launch page also offers a selection of wallpapers for desktop and mobile devices that anyone can download, even those without a PlayStation account. One set of wallpapers is based on Zombies mode, while the other features the new battle royale-like Blackout mode.Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will ship with the two modes mentioned above, but without a standard campaign like the ones found in previous installments. Instead, you`ll find a selection of single-player challenge missions that are intended to help sharpen players` skills. In addition to the content that ships with the game, developer Treyarch has a good deal of free post-launch DLC lined up to keep players coming back.
