By Here’s how both Xbox variants compare
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has begun to launch globally, so we’ve already prepared a comparison for it!
The impressive Xbox Fuzion Testing is once again the first to showcase, presenting an initial glimpse at both Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S gameplay on YouTube, incorporating some very early performance evaluations.
On Xbox Series X, Black Ops 7 is reported to deliver a native resolution of 1440p in 60Hz mode (with dynamic resolution scaling) and 1080p in 120Hz mode, upscaled to 4K. It’s characterized as “quite visually appealing” and overall fairly akin to Black Ops 6, while the graphic settings are evidently reduced in the 120Hz mode but not excessively so. Performance appears to be predominantly robust, with the frame rate occasionally dipping just below 60FPS and 120FPS. Overall, it seems to perform well.
For Xbox Series S, it’s indicated that the native resolution is 1206p in 60Hz mode (with DRS) and 576p-1080p in 120Hz mode, upscaled to 1440p. Once more, comparisons are drawn to Black Ops 6 regarding the visuals, which look entirely satisfactory overall, albeit with some additional softness concerning textures and shadows compared to Series X. Performance seems quite stable at 60FPS, but the 120FPS mode may encounter some challenges on the Series S, occasionally dropping below the 100 threshold. Consequently, a VRR-enabled display is recommended for playing the game in this mode.
As we often mention with these initial evaluations, they are merely intended to provide a brief overview of what to anticipate upon first launching the game, and we will need to wait longer for experts like Digital Foundry to deliver a more comprehensive analysis.
Nonetheless, we never genuinely anticipated Black Ops 7 to face too many difficulties on Xbox Series X and S, so this footage appears to be a reasonably reliable indication of what we’ll be experiencing when the game is released worldwide in the coming hours.
We’ll conclude with the two videos below, along with a link to all the latest release information.
