The recently confirmedCall of Dutygame,Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War,releases for PS4, Xbox One, and PCthis November, but the game will also launch on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X sometime after the consoles' release. As such, some fans have wondered how much the capabilities of Sony’s and Microsoft’s next-generation consoles will affectCold War’s performance.
An Activision employee recently confirmed thatCall of Duty Black Ops Cold Warwould take advantage of one of the most prominent PS5 controller features. This means that the gunplay for 2020’sCall of Dutywill feel different on PlayStation 5 compared to any of the game’s other ports.

The confirmation happened over on ResetEra. One fan managed to get a hold of an Activision Art Lead in a thread pertaining to newly released information onRatchet and Clank: Rift Apart. The fan asked the lead if thePlayStation 5 version ofCall of Duty Black Ops Cold Warwould take advantage of the DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers, and the lead confirmed that it would.
Sony has described thePS5 controller’s featuresin length at this point. The adaptive triggers supposedly allow players to feel the tension of the game as they play. It makes the player feel resistance when pushing down on the shoulder button, and as a result, it simulates pulling an actual trigger. The feature is pretty much tailor-made for long-ranged weapons in video games.
IfCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris taking advantage of adaptive triggers, it will likely also take advantage of the DualSense controller’s haptic feedback. This feature essentially causes the controller to pulse and vibrate in unique ways depending on what kind of situation the player finds themselves in-game.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Wardeveloper Treyarchsaid in a recent blog post that it would announce more information concerning the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game closer to launch. There aren’t many details available right now about these versions of the game, but we do know thatCall of Duty Cold Warcross-platform and cross-progression does exist for them.
A PlayStation Blog post catalogs statements from severalPlayStation 5 developersdiscussing how they’ll use the DualSense controller’s features with their games. It gives a pretty good idea of what to expect out of the PlayStation 5’sCall of Duty Black Ops Cold Waruntil Treyarch can release more information on the subject.
