Cold War July 20 patch notes: PS5 high-res textures, Zombies improvements, Rush, more

Treyarch has just released the latest patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.

Just like with the previous one, there are no balance changes this time around, as things still haven't settled enough since the Season 4 Reloaded update, and there is no need for any urgent balance changes.

For Zombies fans, this update will be interesting as it brings another set of additional improvements across several Zombies modes, including Mauer der Toten and Outbreak.

However, the most important thing coming with the 20th July update is reserved for those players enjoying the game on the PS5 consoles.

PlayStation 5 players can now download new High-Resolution Texture Packs "for the best visual experience going forward," Treyarch explains.

Keep in mind that these packs are not installed by default, and you will need to download manually and separately for MP, Zombies, and Dead Ops Arcade 3 modes.

These packs are easy to find via the in-game Franchise Store, where they are available for download.
