Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a first-person action shooter from Treyarch and Raven Software, continuing the storyline of the Black Ops sub-series. The campaign is set in the mid-1990s and follows a team of CIA agents who get entangled in a conspiracy reaching back to Operation Desert Storm. The game emphasizes more action-packed, open-ended missions with room for the player's own approach than previous entries, and also offers cooperative multiplayer play through the entire campaign. Alongside singleplayer, it brings an extensive multiplayer with new and returning maps, a seasonal content system, and a Zombies mode with its own story and set of maps.

The PlayStation 5 version makes use of next-gen performance – it offers high resolution, a smooth frame rate, and in multiplayer the option to play with higher frames per second, aided by fast SSD storage that shortens loading times. The game supports haptic feedback and adaptive triggers on the DualSense controller, which flesh out the shooting feel and the sense of each weapon.

Black Ops 6 released on PS5 the same day as on other platforms, and content-wise the version is identical – the same campaign including the cooperative mode, the same multiplayer maps, and the same Zombies mode. Thanks to cross-play and cross-progression, PS5 players can play with friends on Xbox and PC and share their progress across platforms without restrictions.

DualSense support also shows up in the campaign, where adaptive triggers simulate the resistance of different weapon types and haptic feedback enhances explosions and the character's movement through the environment. In multiplayer, the fast SSD and stable frame rate help maintain precise and smooth shooting even in intense firefights with many players at once.

On PS5 the game also offers a choice between a mode focused on image quality and one focused on performance, so players can decide whether to prioritize higher resolution or the smoothest possible frame rate in multiplayer matches.

Why play it: The ability to choose between a mode focused on image quality and one with a higher frame rate makes the PS5 version a practical choice for players who want to tailor the game to their own priorities in multiplayer.
