Black Ops Cold War Update Adds New Multiplayer Feature

A new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War update is out on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, and the patch notes reveal that Treyarch has added a small new UI feature to the game’s mutliplayer. More specifically, with the update, Treyarch has added Ping information to the UI while searching for a match. This may seem like an inconsequential feature, but it’s one players have been asking for.

Beyond this, the multiplayer hasn’t really been touched bar some changes and tweaks to playlists and challenges. Beyond multiplayer, the Zombies mode is also featured in the update, but again, nothing very exciting has happened with the mode. An issue with the Swiss K31 has been fixed, but that’s about it.

Below, you can check out the update’s full patch notes, courtesy of Treyarch:
