Since Polaris first started making snowmobiles in Minnesota back in 1954, the brand has become synonymous with backcountry exploration. That eventually expanded into off-road vehicles capable of soaring over rough terrain.
This December, however, the classic vehicle brand has a different activity in mind for its off-roaders: shooting machine guns and blowing stuff up.
Digital Real World Off-Road Adventures Polaris has teamed up with the creative team behind the mega-popular Call of Duty video game franchise for a novel marketing stunt. The brands newest vehicles — the Black Ops 7-Themed RZR Pro R 4 and Sportsman XP 1000 —are now playable in Season 01 ofCall of Duty: Warzone.
As the below video shows, youll be able to catch air and chase your friends through off-road terrain using digital versions of the real vehicles. Moreover, Polaris wants gamers to have a chance at driving the real thing. A multiweek giveaway ends on Jan. 1, 2026, with some seriously awesome grand prizes: the actual Black Ops 7 limited-edition RZR Pro R 4 and Sportsman XP 1000 vehicles.
Until then, gamers can also compete for weekly prize bundles, including gaming products, coolers, hoodies, and more.
“Our goal has always been to connect the experience of Polaris performance with audiences who share our passion for exploration and adventure,” Holly Spaeth, vice president of Polaris Brand Marketing Off-Road Vehicles, said in a press release. “Gaming is the next frontier of that mission and by partnering with Call of Duty, we’re inviting millions of players to experience the power and agility of Polaris vehicles in a new way.”
