Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was cleared for PS5 Pro Enhanced update some time ago, yet there’s no word about the supposed improvements. Players who have upgraded to the new console have been checking out the game and have found nothing different compared to the game’s previous state. It makes you wonder what is going on – was the patch even deployed, or is it just that lacklustre?
Was Black Ops 6 even updated for PS5 Pro?
All signs point to a big fat no. While the game was confirmed to be supported along with the console’s launch on November 7, players haven’t noticed any major differences between the regular PS5 version and the PS5 Pro version of the game.
Some have taken to social media and forums to inform others, like VictorDude on Reddit: “ So the PS5 Pro got delivered today and I set it up, installed CoD, but I can’t really find what the “enhancements” are for the game. I used the same LG C3 OLED in the 120hz mode with the old PS5, but the resolution looks the same (still some slightly jagged edges around straight lines like fences, etc).”
Similarly, Krgwoww noticed much of the same with their version: “Gotta say, I was excited to play BO6 on the Pro, but the 120hz mode seems like I’m playing in 1440p or less? I really was expecting something more “crisp”… Of course not native 4k but I’m pretty sure my RTX 3080 can do better than this on PC.”
So what’s the deal with that? Apparently, Black Ops 6 wasn’t even updated for Pro yet. As it currently stands, all you get from the PS5 Pro upgrade are the hardware improvements that come from the new console compared to the older model. All the “enhanced” bells and whistles are supposed to be unlocked when the game gets an official update.
Looks like we’ll have to wait for the Season 1 patch
All is not lost – apparently, while Black Ops 6 is perfectly playable in its current state on PS5 Pro, the real update is yet to come. According to the PlayStation Game Size account on X, there’s a hefty patch coming up along with the Season 1 update. Many players speculate that this would correspond with the PS5 Pro enhancements, meaning that this update will unlock the full potential of the new hardware. Nothing official has been announced yet, but it would make sense for Treyarch and Activision to wait and release both Season 1 and the PS5 Pro update all in one go, rather than cutting it into two pieces. The update is coming out tomorrow, November 14 and is expected to land around midnight EST or 5 pm BST.
