It wasn’t until I saw the Activision support message that I thought to check if anything was amiss.
When installing the game from my library, I just selected it, then hit “install.” Unbeknownst to me, it was actually installing and running the PS4 edition. I actually had issues with this myself as an Ultimate Edition owner. Taken from my own library, this is what it looks like.
CALL OF DUTY COLD WAR PS4 INSTALL
Basically, go to the game button on your PS5, then scroll down and “highlight play.” After that, “select the three dots” to open up the menu, then install the “PS5 | Full” version. The issue has become widespread enough for Activision support to issue an official tweet on the matter, noting a workaround that should ensure that you’re good to go. Specifically, not being able to download the enhanced PS5 edition of the game: as the PSN forces you to adapt the PS4 edition that doesn’t take advantage of the new hardware.
This past week, users have been reporting that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War download issues on PS5. If you have the Ultimate Edition, you already own the upgrade by default.
As Microsoft continues to tout its “Smart Delivery” cross-gen program that “just works” (for me, it does!), the PS5 seems to have some growing pains with the piecemeal PSN upgrade system.Īs a recap, Activision “allows” folks to pay $10 for the privilege of a “digital upgrade,” which provides “higher framerate, hardware-based ray-tracing, shorter load times, and more” according to the publisher.
