'Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War' (ALL) Adds DLSS Support For Campaign, WarZone, Multiplayer And Spec Ops Modes

A direct sequel to the original, fan-favorite Black Ops, and set in the early 1980s, Black Ops Cold War, drops players into the depth of the Cold War’s volatile geopolitical universe in a gripping experience where nothing is as it seems.

In addition to the story campaign, Black Ops Cold War will bring an arsenal of Cold War weapons and equipment into the next generation of Black Ops Multiplayer combat, and an all-new co-operative gameplay experience with Zombies.

In pure Black Ops style, Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War fuses elements of 1980s pop culture through a mind-bending conspiracy story, where deception and subterfuge are the norm in the gripping single-player Campaign. In this sequel to the original Call Of Duty: Black Ops, players encounter historic figures and learn hard truths as they battle around the globe through iconic locales like East Berlin, Turkey, Vietnam, Soviet-era Moscow, and more. As elite operatives, players attempt to stop a plot decades in the making as they follow the trail of a shadowy figure named Perseus, who is on a mission to destabilize the global balance of power and change the course of history. Beyond the Campaign, players will bring a wide selection of Cold War weapons and equipment into the next generation of Multiplayer combat and an all-new Zombies experience.

The title features cross-play support across current and next generation systems with cross progression across all modes. Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War will also offer a Battle Pass system and deliver a steady stream of free post-launch content, including multiplayer maps and modes, Zombies experiences along with a robust schedule of in-game community events.

NVIDIA DLSS is available today for use in Call of Duty: Warzone, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s campaign, multiplayer, and Spec Ops modes.

Following the release of a new update today, gamers can enable NVIDIA DLSS in Call of Duty: Warzone, Modern Warfare’s multiplayer modes, and Modern Warfare’s co-op Spec Ops mode. Enabling NVIDIA DLSS in the options menu will result in boosted performance on GeForce RTX graphics cards by up to 70% at 4K. 

DLSS is already available in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s multiplayer, Zombies, and campaign modes.

Call of Duty players can take the faster frame rates, or reinvest the extra performance in higher detail levels and  larger resolutions, which will help in spotting distant targets, and make gameplay prettier and more immersive.

This news follows the addition of DLSS to numerous other games this year including Naraka: Bladepoint, Mortal Shell and Square Enix's Outriders, which launched April 1st with a NVIDIA DLSS integration that boosts frame rates by up to 73% at 4K

Integration is also becoming simpler for game developers, following the launch of the Unreal Engine 4 plugin which enables developers to add DLSS to their titles with less than a day’s work. Last week Unity announced that DLSS would be added to their game engine by year’s end.

Black Ops Cold War will also support and build on the hit, free-to-play experience Call Of Duty: Warzone. Black Ops Cold War includes shared progression features with Warzone, adding brand new inventory items that can be used in both Black Ops Cold War and Warzone. Warzone players will still have access to all of their Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare content, including Operators and Weapon Blueprints previously earned.

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC on Battle.net.
