For those who were able to secure a PS5 at launch and have been playing Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War<\/a>, there is a chance you may have been playing the PS4 version by accident.As reported by Eurogamer,<\/a> this issue appears to be affecting certain people who have purchased and downloaded either the Cross-Gen bundle or the Ultimate Edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, which both include the PS4 and PS5 version of the latest Call of Duty.<\/p>\n

When you purchase either of these versions from the PlayStation Store, you are able to choose which parts of Black Ops Cold War you wish to download – i.e. Zombies, Multiplayer, Campaign. However, if you choose download all, you will download both the PS4 and PS5 version of the game, and it appears to default to the PS4 version for some playing on PS5.<\/p>\n

<\/output>Activision Support<\/a> has responded to this issue, and has revealed the necessary steps to ensure you are playing the correct version;<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Highlight the game tile on the Dashboard<\/li>\n
  2. Scroll down and highlight “Play”<\/li>\n
  3. Select the 3 dots and open the menu<\/li>\n
  4. Select \u201cPS5 | Full | Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War\u201d<\/li>\n
  5. Launch and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Eurogamer also notes that there are some instances of people deleting the PS4 version and it causing a download queue bug that prevents the ability to download the PS5 version if it isn’t already installed. Reports mention that a factory reset will fix this issue, but hopefully a patch will be on the way shortly.<\/p>\n
