Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will run at 120 frames-per-second in 4K resolution, according to a report published by Venture Beat. It’s unclear whether the title will achieve a full native 2160p image, but more likely is that it will render at a lower resolution and then use reconstruction techniques. The framerate seems achievable, however, given the first-person shooter is also scheduled to release on the PlayStation 4, where it will run at the series’ standard 60 frames-per-second.
The publication references many of the title’s next-gen improvements, including support for the DualSense controller’s haptic feedback, as well as vastly improved loading times. There’ll also be real-time ray tracing, as well as full HDR support. But perhaps most interestingly of all, the title will take advantage of Sony’s new 3D audio engine, meaning that you’ll be able to pinpoint the location of approaching footsteps and enemy fire more accurately than ever before.
We'll check in with Activision to confirm these details, but if correct then it's another 120 frames-per-second game to add to our list of All PS5 Games Running at 120 Frames-Per-Second. Nice!

Not possible, it doesn’t have the POWWWAAAAA OR FLOPPPPPPPPPPPPS!!!!!
But but but I was told that the PS5 could not run games at 120fps because IS TOO WEAK!!!!!
@OmegaStriver @Leon_93 A Nokia phone could run at 120 frames per second if that was just displaying a black and white screen flashing 120 times a second. Saying something can or can’t run 4K or can’t run 120 FPS is just silly as it entirely depends on the content.
Finally game specs to shut the nay sayers up, even stupid PlayStation fans that refuse to believe the PS5 can run games at 4K 60FPS...
@S1ayeR74 Also, this is a cross-gen game. It stands to reason that it’ll potentially run better than a full PS5 game.
"but more likely is that it will render at a lower resolution and then use reconstruction techniques"
Then is not in 4K 😒 you guys really want to make bootleg 4K a thing.
As for Call of Duty I think that would be pretty amazing if they get real 4K and 120fps right out the gate, it would make Ubisoft look pretty silly for considering releasing a game at 30fps.
Treyarch is trash cod
Treyarch destroyed reputation
@Leon_93 dirt5 runs at 120FPS on ps5
Yay, another crock of dookie.
Very promising, this and Dirt 5 are proof that this time getting high frame rates in exchange of resolution is totally possible.
On PS4, games like GoW or MHW can't run properly on Perf Mode even with lower resolution. Most likely because of the jaguar CPU.
So, no excuse this time, Perf Mode on ALL GAMES.
All this is a good indicator that the game will be downgraded to work across current and new gens so I don’t really think this is something valid to boast about.
@Makina I personally can't wait to play this on the PS5 using BC especially MHW.
But how many peeps actually have 120Hz panels?
@EWolf Barely anyone. There’ll just be people thinking ‘more frames = good’. This is despite the fact that stable 60FPS will be a million times more playable than a variable 120FPS, especially since almost everyone has a 60Hz display.
Why are we suggesting it'll be using image reconstruction to get to 4K? It may do but this is a cross gen title and the PS5 potentially has up to 3x the GPU capabilities of the Pro and around 4x the CPU power
@nessisonett I'd imagine the 20 people who are excited about 120fps are probably using a screen with VRR anyway so it should look even smoother for them even if its not locked
Cool, I'll buy it day one physical version if I can get ps5 on launch, looks like the single player story is good this year too 😃
I'm expecting some new PS5 FUD very soon.
Things are too one sided right now. 🤔
Will this work out of the box with every setup? Or do you need a HDMI 2.1 capable TV to get this to work?
Oh dear I can see it happening all over again next generation the battle of the 120fps between the consoles.
Why don’t these stupid developers stick with 60fps 4K and make the game far more detailed and the environments more life like.
Anyway not many people have a true 120fps tv full 4K 4:4:4 chrome.
A waste of the consoles power.
@Dezzy70 I'd imagine they'll all have performance or graphics options just for the fact that so few will have a TV that can do it anyway
@ThaBEN You must have a TV that supports HDMI 2.1
@nessisonett That’s an excuse and is ignoring the PS5 power, the PS5 will be doing native 4K 60FPS just fine despite what people think. You’ve all been listening to far too many made up rumours and assumptions.
@Juanalf Haha the PS5 will do native 4K perfectly fine, so many idiots out there have conditioned themselves to believe the PS5 won’t do it, with absolutely no proof or reasoning or facts to back it up, it’s literally because the PS4 Pro does it so must the PS5, or because Nvidia GPUs do it, as well as native 4K, so must the PS5. These people can have a dev tell them the PS5 is doing native 4K and they still won’t believe it.
@Dezzy70 @ThaBEN
I'm pretty sure you would need hdmi 2.1 which is rearer than rocking horse poo at this point.
For instance I spent £3k on an lg oled a few years ago so it's only hdmi 2.0 this means it can only do 4k 60fps 4:4:4 (no HDR) = 17.82 Gbps or
4k 60fps 4:2:2 10bit HDR (no 4:4:4) = 17.82 Gbps. So even
4k 60fps 4:4:4 10bit HDR = 22.28 Gbps which can't be achieved on HDMI 2.0 as it's upper data transfer limit is 18 Gbps.
In this scenario I'd game in 4k 60fps 4:2:2 10bit HDR as for me this give the best gaming results.
Edit : so 120fps 4k HDR is a pipe dream for most and unless you're spending around the £3k or above in the last 12 months on a current model and still doing your homework it won't be achieved
@SolarSailo
As weird as it may sound, this has me actually relieved. I don't own a HDMI 2.1 compatible TV and just bought a Hue HDMI Sync Box which doesn't support anything over 60 fps.
Unless you're accustomed to PC gaming, i'll think 60fps will be more then enough for most console gamers.They probably won't be able to see the difference between 60 and 120 in most cases.
@gingerfrog Actually a fair few TVs now have HDMI 2.1, LG does and other brands too and next year their will be even more. So it’s not rare at all. 120HZ is rare though.
Everybody's focus should be on a stable 60 fps, is more than anyone can ask for at the moment from the next gen. Heres hopping for more ray tracing also. It's still early to see the full capabilities of the new console as games are still made cross-gen focused and not next-gen.
@S1ayeR74
Sorry that's what I was trying to get at a 120fps version will be rare. My dyslexia sometimes means I don't get my point across correctly. As for LG I thought they were dropping HDMI 2.1 in favour of compression in there newer models?
@S1ayeR74
And I kind of ment rare in terms of who will own them by now not rare to buy. Hope I'm not to confusing
They just reduced the bandwidth to 40gbs from 48. Still more than capable of running 4k 120fps without any compression
@nessisonett It does look nice though this COD.
Don’t we just love next generation technology be it TVs or consoles.
A good some of it is smoke and mirrors and PR as it all sounds good and looks flash on paper and in advertising.
LG new tv depending on model should run 120fps 4K hdmi 2.1. The reason the it’s only 40gps is remember it is only a 10bit OLED panel therefore you done need the full fat 48gps as you would only need that for a 12bit OLED panel.
Samsung QLED depending on model again can run 4k 120fps from only one the hdmi ports.
Other than that not many TVs are really capable of the full fat 4K 120fps.
Hence developers concentrating on the wrong thing 120fps wasting the consoles power, which could be used elsewhere.
All PR and smoke and mirrors.
I do have a question, will the PS5 support TVs that is lower than a 4K? What about 1080/144 or 1440/144 display monitors?
@gingerfrog Ooh I never heard that about LG. Interesting, I thought they were trying to become the gaming TV brand with low latency and Nvidia and AMD feature support plus HDMI 2.1, you could be totally correct and they won’t be as good as they say. For me I think most people will be happy with 4K 60FPS. Or even 4K 30FPS. I wonder if you have a 1080P TV and play the PS5 on it will games run faster due to the lower resolution?
No apology needed either
@gingerfrog That is true as they haven’t been out very long. I have a Sony 4K OLED I got in November partly for the new game consoles, I read that it will receive a firmware update to enable some 2.1 features even though it’s not advertised as having 2.1, so no idea what that will mean but it won’t have all the features of 2.1.
I should add on here as I don’t think anyone else has, this is yet ANOTHER game shown running actually on the PS5... plus today we will see a live gameplay demo of Ratchet and Clank on the PS5... lots of gameplay again from the PS5, and silence from the Series X? Oh and COD is a cross platform game but they chose to show it off on the PS5 (exclusive deals aside), and not the more powerful Series X.
Well I don't believe that but ok.
@louieverr That is a good questioni dont own a 4K or 120FPS one either.
@ThaBEN
You need a 2.1 HDMI Cable as well soo
Nice! Not a huge COD fan and haven't played the series for a while now, but this does look different. 120hz is good to see too, even if most games don't support that, we can see it's achievable. And luckily my TV supports it.
N.i.c.e. im interested in this game.i l🖤ve the 1980s.word up son
This would be huge just to shut haters up! But still, no one has a 120fps able tv lol
Players getting excited for raytracing but ist going to be so limited on consoles hardly worth having.
200 gigs required
@EWolf i do and it will be more common in the near future.
@carlos82 there will be a lot of gamers upgrading displays for the ps5. I already have and i am lookin forward to 120fps. I guess that makes 21 people.
@Greenfisted I'll keep a tally 😉
No some will of course but thsoe are pretty expensive and I'd imagine would have already upgraded to a 4K tv already in the last few years
@carlos82 im just happy to see games moving forward, taking advantage of the latest tech. Thats what next gen is for. Keep em coming and it will eventually be the standard.
@Leon_93 Agree, that game totally need something more powerful than a PS4 Pro to get a good 60fps
@nessisonett For me, all i ask is 60fps, no 120fps, that's mostly for competitive shooters.
You still have gains playing at 120fps on a 60hz panel, i do it on PC, it gives you less input lag.
I'm not completely sure the article is saying frame per second tbh.
The problem with reporting reports from reporters as if it's a primary source..🤷♂️
Native 4K 120fps on PS5 will easily achieve it, but its not doing native 4K 120fps with RT. It's a PS4 game at the end of the day, but at lot of people cannot take advantage of 120fps on a lot of 4K TV's.
@nessisonett Well as you see it's Call of Duty content. So there's nothing silly now is there?
that's 60 fps more than I care about, but still good to hear that we're not struggling with 30..
@Exlee300p ....are you being serious?
Seems like a pointless waste of resources to make it 120fps, most TVs don't do genuine 120hz, and I doubt that will ever really change
Can't wait till GTA 5 comes out for PS5. A prostitute's mouth should never look like it does on current consoles lol
