From there choose “PS5 > Full > Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War” and you should be watching Ronald Reagan order war crimes in pristine 4K in no time.Įxcept for some players that’s not the end of the story. Instead of clicking the options button while hovering over the game icon on the main home bar, you actually have to scroll down to the “three dots” icon that sits below it on the bottom half of the screen. A workaround shared online by Activision Support on November 14 helped clear things up. This happened to me as well over the weekend, and it wasn’t immediately clear how to fix it, in part because I had no idea which menu to go into to try and install the PS5 version of the game. Sony and Activision did not immediately respond to a request for comment. If you’ve been playing the game on your next-gen console and not noticing improved graphics and the new haptic feedback in the DualSense triggers, it might be because you aren’t actually playing the next-gen version.

These versions appear to be defaulting to installing the PS4 version, even on PS5. As first reported by Eurogamer over the weekend, PS5 players with the Cross-Gen bundle or Ultimate Editions of the latest Call of Duty are struggling to access the PS5 version of the game.
