Following DC’s tweet, his fans were quick to help their favorite UFC fighter. A Twitter thread explains how the PS5, by default, runs the current-gen version of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War.
To enjoy the next-gen version, players have to press Options on their controller and select PS5|Full| Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.
Following this, the PlayStation 5 will re-download the entire game once again, which is undoubtedly a significant upgrade. Accompanied by stunning visual improvements, the haptic feedback from the PS5 DualSense controller makes it a different experience altogether.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales also has similar issues. Players must choose the PS5 version for the game, as it offers the PS4 version by default.
I was literally going to do a similar PSA for Miles Morales. Good job. YOU MUST ALSO CHOOSE PS5 VERSION WHEN YOU START THE GAME. You gotta go to the three dots and select PS5. As you see it’s offering PS4 because PS5 was already selected. pic.twitter.com/BGkcMldOm6
