Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II delivers solid technical performance on PS5 using Infinity Ward's IW9 engine. The standard 60Hz mode targets dynamic 4K at a rock-solid 60fps with complete v-sync stability. An optional 120Hz performance mode enables framerates up to 120fps, though performance dips down to around 80fps in demanding outdoor environments, making a VRR display highly beneficial. Visual features across modes rely on screen-space reflections rather than hardware ray tracing.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 on PS5 delivers excellent performance. The 60Hz mode runs near a locked 60fps with resolution scaling down to 1080p, while the 120Hz mode ranges between 100fps and 120fps, providing a fluid experience when paired with a VRR display.
