Another Xbox 1st Party release runs better on the PS5: CoD Black Ops 6

[CrackmanNL]

According to Open Source (YT); ''The attention to optimisation is just as good if not better, you can argue PS5 is the best place to play Black Ops 6 and with PS5 Pro coming it's only getting better''

How marginal the difference might be in some cases, it still shows the PS5 coming out on top being more stable with fewer drops than its counterpart.
Especially in the 120fps mode despite minor frame tearing, where the gap can go in double digits in frames and Series X more often goes below the 100 line depending on the load on screen.

In 2022 during the ABK court case Jim Ryan was worried with the degradation of CoD on the platform for his players.

"I hadn’t intended to comment on what I understood to be a private business discussion, but I feel the need to set the record straight because Phil Spencer brought this into the public forum," Ryan stated.

"Microsoft has only offered for Call of Duty to remain on PlayStation for three years after the current agreement between Activision and Sony ends. After almost 20 years of Call of Duty on PlayStation, their proposal was inadequate on many levels and failed to take account of the impact on our gamers. We want to guarantee PlayStation gamers continue to have the highest quality Call of Duty experience, and Microsoft’s proposal undermines this principle."

It seems MS & Activision has upheld their side of the ''deal'' with Ryan, delivering another Xbox 1st party title amongst others that runs better on the base PS5.

Well PS5 is a better machine than Series X.
We know that for years already.

Magnificent.

Is it still news? It is 4 years of the same.

Ah can't wait until we get DF take. It will be full of copium.

Oh look, found DF. Let's see what they have to say:
"Through our bespoke analysis tools, both platforms deliver virtually identical experiences in moment-to-moment gameplay, with any measured differences being purely academic. Given that Call of Duty is now an Xbox studio, the Xbox version naturally represents the more intended, bespoke presentation of the content. And since both versions output what is essentially the same experience, the Xbox Series version ultimately takes the edge by being available day one on Game Pass at no extra cost"

Priority to people who buy their games.

But the tools next year will make the Series S stronger than the PS5 Pro.

Dont forget what they told us:

Xbox Series S CPU is Faster Than the PS5's

A source reveals that Microsoft is using the same CPU for both the Xbox Series S and X, making both consoles able to perform faster than the PS5.

Ehhh no. Sorry shillboy.

Ehhh no. Sorry shillboy.

When your so claimed 9TF machine beats constantly the 12TFs machine there is no way to hide it anymore.
PS5 is a better machine for games.

The majority of people that play this game do not give a crap about framerates. And a difference of 10-20 FPS is indistinguishable anyway.

I'm playing BO6 on Series S and it runs smooth as butter.

So is my son (via Game sharing from my account). He said it's great. Though he has been only doing zombies with others.

If you said 1-2fps even 5-6fps I should try to understand.
But 10-20fps difference is like playable to unplayable.
The issues in the screen and response you get from a drop in the 20fps is ridiculous bad.

And no... it doesn't run smooth in Series S.
Even if you are happy with it... after all some people become happy with even worst things.

Bro, casuals make up the majority of the audience for this game. They do not give a single crap about 112 vs 120 FPS.

COD has nothing to do with MS except corporate greed.
