Call of Duty: Black Ops II — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Released on PlayStation in July 2026, this is a straight port rather than a remaster, and it behaves identically across every supported console. PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5 and PS5 Pro all run a single mode at a native 1080p with a locked 60fps target, with no anti-aliasing and shadow quality carried over untouched from the original release. There is no 120Hz option and no PS5 Pro specific enhancement: no PSSR, no ray tracing and no increased resolution on Pro hardware. The upside on PlayStation is that the image is still sharper than the 608p backwards-compatible Xbox 360 version, and frame rate holds steady throughout. Load times have not been measured by an independent outlet, so they are listed as not verified.
