Infinity Ward quietly adds 120fps to Call of Duty: Warzone on Xbox Series X - but not PS5

The support, which was not mentioned in Modern Warfare's latest patch notes published this week or on social media, was spotted by players as they tested the battle royale on Microsoft's new console.

[Deathdeliverer]

I’m sure it’ll come to PS5 too. The real shocker is that people still have this space hog downloaded. Let me install JUST multiplayer. Maybe that will help.

[lelo2play]

Hum... Surprised they didn't bring it 1st to PS5, since Activision has a exclusive deal with Sony.

Does COD run at 4k on SeriesX/PS5?

[seanpitt23]

Xb launched worldwide ps5 didn’t they are probably waiting till next week when it comes to all other countries

[Mr Pumblechook]

I'm disappointed but not surprised to see Wesley Yin Poole the deputy editor of the supposedly mature video game website Eurogamer stirring up the flames of the format wars.

[SullysCigar]

Just more Eurogamer smearing.

Maybe let the console finish launching before worrying about a patch for a last gen game lol

[agnosticgamer]

Not all game consoles are created equally. Maybe the PS5 can't handle it?

It's not a big deal, because to say the Xbox Series X isn't more powerful you're just being ignorant. There will be some games that only have this option on the Series X and that is just a fact.

The fact they have an exclusivity deal with Sony and Xbox series X got it first should possibly tell you something.

[oof46]

The developer for Rocket League hinted why...at least for their game:

"Right now we have nothing further to share on additional PS5 plans, but can shed some more light on the why. Our team’s main focus this year was our recent free to play transition, and updating major features like our Tournaments system. Due to this we had to make tough decisions on what else we could achieve. Enabling 120hz on Xbox Series X|S is a minor patch, but enabling it on PS5 requires a full native port due to how backwards compatibility is implemented on the console, and unfortunately wasn’t possible due to our focus elsewhere."

[Babadook7]

“ The developer for Rocket League hinted why...at least for their game: ”

The head to heads so far show the real story. PS5 is equal in every game that allows a direct comparison. So the only hint there, is that that dev was lazy or worse.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

It's called "a more powerful GPU". You console kids might start to understand how PC's work soon, especially once DF starts doing comparisons on more and more 3rd party games.

[Sitdown]

@seanpitt23
This has to be the worst defense I have ever seen. So current users can't get this, until PS5 launches in other places? Stop.

[Muzikguy]

People keep telling me you can but I can not delete the single player portion and I've checked many times. The option isn't there

[1nsomniac]

It’s there on the PC. I have the game on the PS4 as well but haven’t checked out there.

[DerfDerf]

On Xbox you simply uninstall the campaign portions.

[Muzikguy]

I've seen reports of it being on PS4 (where I play) but it's not there for me. The game is getting too large these days.

[MaximusTKG]

I deleted both my campaign and spec ops, left only mp and warzone.

[Kaze88]

How about just googling it, first one after google search: https://support.activision....

Should be possible on every platform. did this on pc and works.

[Newmanator]

Maybe they’ll add it by the time I’m able to find one.

[PigPen]

Playstation 5 isn't powerful enough to output 120 fps. It can't even handle 1440p for whatever that's worth. If by chance it do, it will be like 1080p @ 120 fps.

[Ash01Live]

Why you have to be this way?

[Abnor_Mal]

https://n4g.com/news/238611...

But please, continue with what you were saying.

[PigPen]

@Abnor_Mal

At what though cause that's not saying? All bet money 1080p.

[RazzerRedux]

"At what though cause that's not saying? All bet money 1080p."

You didn't say "at what though" when it came to the game running 120fps on the XSX. Hilarious.

[ScootaKuH]

I think you're overestimating PS5. It'll only be able to output this game at 540p for 120fps. If you want 4k it'll only be 3fps. I promise.

Series X is capable of 16k and 480fps though because teh velocity engine and powarrrz

[PigPen]

@ScootaKuH

Any next gen game under 1080p I'll be shocked!

[ArthriticPowers]

Mate get you hand of it, got the series x day one but you're talking crap, sensationalising and drawing attention away from from an interesting conversation

[SullysCigar]

I got your sarcasm, but honestly, you have to sign post it. Sadly, there are some on here that would probably write what you wrote and believe it to be true lol

[purple101]

PS3 outputted a game (superstardust). It was a puzzle game mind... They outputted that in 1440p! 10 years ago on PS3.. so I'm sure ps5 can do it it's just an option they haven't bothered to code in yet.

[P_Bomb]

Treyarch’s already said COD will hit 120fps on both consoles https://www.thegamer.com/bl...

Here’s how to activate performance mode on PS5 https://twistedvoxel.com/bl...
John Linneman walk through https://mobile.twitter.com/...

Nioh 2 also announced a 4K/120 edition for next year, fwiw.

[Abnor_Mal]

Neither article states what the resolution will be for the PS5. Neither article also states what the resolution will be for the Series X.

Besides, the article was about the frames and you saying no the PS5 isn't powerful enough to output at 120 fps. The link provided proves that it can, so the matter of resolution is moot at this point since neither article mentioned what either system will output at resolution wise. Unless you have some kind of proof that says the Series X will run at 4k native and the PS5 will run at 1080p.

Switching gears.

[Damrock]

Doesn't DMC5 on PS5 handle 120fps better than series X.....

[SullysCigar]

Yup - a LOT better, in fact.

[Hedstrom]

Ps5 runs Assasons creed Valhalla at higer resolution and higer fps than Serie X.

[ThePacemaker]

PigPen is obviously a blindfolded Xbox fan. Chill up & enjoy your gaming console.

[Smclaren1985]

Delusional much lol

[maybelovehate]

1080p @ 120 fps is fine. I don't see anything wrong with that.

[Sunny_D]

They just added 120 FPS for the PS5 version. You were saying?

[Eonjay]

It's because Warzone runs in BC mode on PS5. That's all there is to it.

[SmokinAces]

Wrong, just stop you're embarrassing yourself.

https://www.kitguru.net/gam...

[boing1]

You're wrong.

[Ninver]

You're just itchy to say something bad about the ps5 huh? Like a troll under a bridge waiting to mug.

[Profchaos]

The consoles have launched doesn't that mean we can all get along again and stop the misinformation and trolling

[Edgelordsupreme]

It can't OUTPUT 1440p, it can render at 1440p all day long. Stop opening your ignorant mouth.

[pingthing]

If this had been the other way around, there would be nothing 'quietly' about it in here.

[RazzerRedux]

Why are you pretending this isn't being talked about "in here"?

[InUrFoxHole]

Hes saying trolls would be all over it. Im surprised you're clueless to this.

[RazzerRedux]

Trolls are all over this. I'm not surprised you are clueless to this.

[Toncsipapa]

That's 100% ps fanboys would be all over the moon and talk crap about xsx...

[Atticus_finch]

Xbox fans are always the victim.

[Necr0philiac]

@pingthing
Exactly. Its funny how butt hurt people get. But the same reactions happen to both sides of the fence. But this is a PS5 website. So there is a lot more crying on there side

[Zeref]

So where are the people that were celebrating assassins Creed running "slightly" better on PS5?

[Mr_Luke]

Playing it, probably, instead of wasting time here with a stupid console war

[Sayai jin]

@ShinnokDrako, it's a make believe console war. Only in the mind of fan boys.

[Silly gameAr]

Wow, you guys will take any "victory" you can get, huh? Don't be so desperate for something so small.

[Pickledpepper]

60fps to 120fps isn't that small, that's quite a big leap

[Sayai jin]

Nobody should be taking victory over silly pieces of plastic...nobody. No matter if it sales, games, etc. Consoles are not like some elite club or agency. It's simply a purchase of device people get to partake in their hobby...gaming.

[RazzerRedux]

I would think people would have learned to not "celebrate" prematurely after all the elation XSX fanboys expressed over XSX having native 4k and then finding out it was actually dynamic. It is going to be funny if this happens again and we find out they added the 120fps mode to PS5 in a few days. Maybe you shouldn't set yourself up so easily.

Edit: oh.....this is hilarious

@Abnor_Mal

LOL!

That was quick!

[Abnor_Mal]

They already added 120 fps to PS5.

[Nd1vhu]

No they didn't. They added 120 fps to Cold War. Wrong CoD.

[Zeref]

Do you see me declaring victory? In fact I'm pretty sure they will add 120 to PS5 too. But yall weren't as rational yesterday 😂

You really think that somehow a 9tflop console is gonna outperform a 12tflop console? 😂 Foh

[RazzerRedux]

That is your problem. It is all about "y'all" and "us". Your silly tribalism. And what the hell is unrationale about speculating that PS5 may be more powerful than some thought?

No...the unrational comment was your silly "keep dreaming" nonsense.

You are the definition of fanboy. We all know it.

[IamFrasierCrane]

That wasn’t a celebration. That’s was merely people pointing out how running your mouth came back to bite you in the ass.

Just like that time you were posting comments everywhere, saying Ni No Kuni 2 was coming to X1 and not PS exclusive. You were flat out wrong. As you usually are. Learn your lesson.

[Toncsipapa]

Wait till digital foundry do the comparison...the way it was compared in that video was awful... In the end he said himself the mostly identical.. Its jist the loading time... Then he said the loading time better because you can skip on ps5 but not on xsx...

[Atticus_finch]

Haha

[ILostMyMind]

They are waiting for global PS5 launch. The patch will come.

[Eonjay]

The reason it's locked to 60 is because it is a BC title on PS5. Xbox supported up to 120 on BC (see Xbox One X). Activision would have to patch to port the game to unlock the FOS and that's not gonna happen lol.

[SmokinAces]

They're waiting for the inevitable article stating it runs at 120fps on PS5 too, just like what happened with the most recent Dirt game. I swear you guys should just wait a few days before jumping the gun and celebrating your short lived console war victories.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

I can't even get 120fps to work on Black Ops, I own a C9 b4 someone asks.

[SlothLordPootus]

Do all HDMI ports on the TV support it? On my x900h, only hdmi 3 and 4 support 120 fps at 4k

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

Yea all the ports support it.

[Sunny_D]

Go to the game/app settings on the PS5 menu. Go to where it ask you if you prefer resolution mode or performance mode. Put it on performance mode and you will get 120 fps.

[DaGR8JIBRALTAR]

I've done that, doesn't work.

[sagapo]

Could very well be your HDMI cable, they all look alike, but not all of them can handle a 4k/120hz signal. As for your TV, if it’s HDMI port isn’t 2.1, you won’t get 4k/120hz, just 4k/60hz, even tho your C8 supports 120hz. I believe the new LG CX has hdmi 2.1 ouput. I have a C7, no 4k/120 for me...

[Darthpaul84]

Probably can’t run it

[SmokinAces]

This comment wont age well, they never do.

[chaoticsoulxx]

It already runs at 120 on ps5...

[DiRtY]

I bet my left arm that we will see these small adjustments quite a few times for launch titles.

COVID had a massive impact on game development and lots of developers were even more in a hurry than last gen.

Launch titles are never a good way to see what a new generation is capable of, but especially not this time when people were stuck at home for almost a year.

That is why we see all these delays on both machines (The Medium, Destruction All Stars, SSD storage expansion, etc.) or later patches with Ray Tracing support or whatever.

It will take a while before we really see what next gen actually means.

[Einhander1971]

Oh here we go, this is all we will get this generation. All these poxy comparisons. PS5 is still the better machine regardless, why because it will have better games.

[Pickledpepper]

Oh here we go again, all these poxy fanboys, ps5 is better regardless.
Please don't try and come across non biased to then add ps is better.
Did you need a bigger wooden spoon to stir that pot

[ichdich]

Probably can’t run it

[waverider]

It needs a patch to the ps5. Nothing more. 3rd party games...

[chrisoadamson]

Game changer for series x

[BLow]

So y'all really think they wouldn't have this on PS5. And already the fanboys are making the usual comments. Y'all really can't help yourselves lol. Y'all actually be waiting to hear any negative news for the platform you don't like. There will be a patch. Calm down lol.

Try this to see if it works:

Settings
- Saved Data and Game/App Settings
- Scroll to "Game Presets"
- Performance Mode

[Ausbo]

Clearly this is because call of duty has a marketing agreement with Sony. I’m sure when they update it for ps5, they will promote it

[chrisoadamson]

They cant . Sony would have to enable it . It's because it's a backwards compatible game. The xbox one x allowed 120hz

[Nd1vhu]

All yall just misinformation windbags on both sides.

Going to steal this from a user on Reddit:

Sony doesnt allow games of previous gen to utilize PS5 features such as 120fps, its why rocket league doesnt support it on ps5 but on xss and xsx yes. BC compatibility is when you play a game of previous gen, whether it received a patch or not. Next gen is when the game receives a brand new version for example fortnite and dmc5

If you go on the PSN store you’ll find 2 games when you search fortnite, 1 of them is ps5 and the other ps4. Epic games couldn’t have added the ps5 features by just giving the game a simple patch, sony doesn't allow that.

So it isn't that PS5 can't run it at 120fps (so chime down Xbox fanboys) but rather that Sony won't allow it because it's a BC game which is worse in my opinion but there you go.

[Silver-Noise-X]

Actually you can run the game on performance mode in game settings , games presets , performance mode

[Nd1vhu]

You are thinking of CoD BO Cold War. This is about Modern Warfare's Warzone

[chrisoadamson]

That's not Warzone Pal. Thats the new cod black ops

[Sunny_D]

Haha what a joke. They added 120 FPS into the game. In fact, to get it, DF said you can enable it by going to the game settings on your PS5 and change it to performance mode to get it.

[Nd1vhu]

Wrong game. CoD Warzone is not CoD Black Ops Cold War

[Sunny_D]

I see. I misread it. Ok, the reason is because the game is a backward compatible game. The PS4 didn’t have 120 hertz output but the One/ One X did so they were able to output them at 120 FPS. It’s a software limit, not a hardware limit.

[Nd1vhu]

Yes. It's the same reason Rocket League runs at 120fps on Xbox but not PS5. The PS5 is more than capable of doing it. For some reason Sony won't let it.

[Angrymorgan]

My 4k tv will only do 60 anyway...

[technophobia]

Honest question: Can you tell the difference between a solid 60 FPS and a solid 120 FPS? Because I sure can't - my friends tried to show me, but I think either my eyes or my brain is broken.

[Noz]

only a small fraction of players have a compatible tv so who cares, just focus on 4k/60...

[cfir]

Not sure what Eurogamer are doing. They've got this article up, and have now got another which says ps5 does have 120hz mode.
https://www.eurogamer.net/a...

[cfir]

Sorry, my mistake. COD mixup. The 120hz talk was for the new black ops. Read elsewhere that the 60hz limit is down to the backwards comparability. The rocket League developers have said previously that they couldn't add 120hz mode for PS5 as it required then to make a full PS5 version.
https://gamerant.com/rocket...

[XxINFERNUSxX]

It took how many years for consoles to break the 60fps barrier LOL. Anyway, while having 120fps is good I wonder how many people have a 120hz TV or just use their PC monitors if they have them. I'm running 1080p gsync at 240hz, at least now you console people can see what it feels like to play way above 60fps in games :P Always pick higher fps lower res it's just way more smooth.

[chrisoadamson]

My samsung is 3 years old and 120hz , cost me 2.5 grand at the time . Think most top end 4k tvs are.

[OneLove]

A lot of salt in here🤣

[C-H-E-F]

Coldwar has it on 120fps, so there's no reason why this wouldn't have the same option.

[GamerBeast1982]

Wasted 54 pound on this years cod . Only bought it for campaign but it is a let down . Graphics are quite crap compared to modern warfare . Too many online trophies compared to modern warfare so I’ll trade it in this week . Enjoy all them that like the online stuff . But for me it’s just not fun . And before any of you kids say but cod is about online , cod was always about a good campaign until idiots like you started patrons money for daft guns and camo. No biggie I’ll only lose 5 pound when I trade it Monday .

[Angrymorgan]

Where you gonna trade in? We're on lockdown..unless your Welsh

[GamerBeast1982]

Cex online probably. By post .

[Locutus_of_borg]

i actually stopped buying them long ago... it was always the single player experience that i played, for me the online side of things ruined it, somebody jumping up and down in the middle of the street on a one vs one battle isnt my idea of a combat game

[FanboysKiller]

Launch titles tend to be mediocre , i learned this lesson the hard way , demon's souls doesn't count cause it's not a new game.

[silkylove]

What's the resolution on the 120 fps mode?

[chrisoadamson]

4k.. digital foundary have a video on it already. Fps runs from 120 can dip to 100

[silkylove]

Nice. Thanks.

[GameZenith]

Lol

[FanboysKiller]

They are working on it, 16 percent power difference doesn't translate to double the number of fps by any means.

[marcuzgungeze10]

Good for Infinity Ward and Activision. Looking at this unbiased, it’s good that 3rd parties will push hardware and will release it when it’s ready and not play favorites. It’s just better for gamers. I am sure they will do the same for PlayStation if patches are ready. If not I am happy to play, on PlayStation with whatever optimized version I prefer.

[LeatherCraftGermany]

Guess PS5 can't handle it ^^

[dubal-e]

PS5 doesn't have the power to do it. Sorry angry fanboys not trying to be spiteful just point out the obvious.

[GamerBeast1982]

Any ps5 owner here know if you can just download the campaign on ps5 ?.
