PS5 may be playing the wrong version of Call of Duty — what to Do

With the arrival of both the PS5 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, gamers were given the chance to enjoy an updated version of the first-person shooter on the new console. However, it doesn't seem to be working out so well for some gamers.

Eurogamer reports that some PS5 owners are playing the PS4 version instead of the updated one for the PS5.

This issue may be due to confusion over which version users should choose: if you purchase the CrossGet Bundle or Ultimate Edition of Black Ops Cold War, you will get the PlayStation 5 version at no extra charge and the PlayStation 4 version of the game. Once you purchase the game, you can choose which part of the game you want to download from the download menu.

Selecting the correct version of the game and downloading the rest of the required portions is easy. Before the game is downloaded, you have to choose which one you want. However, as Eurogamer points out, selecting the "Download all" button will download both the PS5 and PS4 versions at the same time. Unfortunately, it appears that the PS5 may load the PS4 version by default when the play button is pressed.

To avoid the default version loading, you must manually select the PS5 version by selecting the three dots button and manually switch to the correct game you purchased. The PS5 version will then load, but instead of rushing to click on the menu or accept what is happening, you need to pay attention here.

Unfortunately, for those who have unfortunately downloaded the wrong version, this is not the only problem: it is easy to remove the PS4 version from the PS5, but the problem of not being able to download the PS5 version if the PS4 version is installed is currently plaguing some users This problem is currently plaguing some users. Some PS5 users have solved this problem by factory resetting, but this is unlikely to be a long-term solution for all users.

While the actual cause of this problem is not due to a bug, it does highlight a potential problem with the PS5. For now, if you are downloading a game with multiple versions, especially "Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War," you need to make sure you have the correct game to play when the download is complete.

With the launch of the PS5 last week, several notable titles have been added that you can try out on the new system right now, including Astro's Playroom, a fun introduction to using the PS5's dual-sense controllers. This full-fledged platformer offers six hours of content at no extra charge. Best of all, it comes pre-installed, so you won't be plagued by frustrating bugs if you download the wrong one.
