"Treyarch senior director of production Yale Miller told Dexerto that "a shocking number of people play" Call of Duty on last-gen systems, and that supporting those consoles helps matchmaking efforts. "It made sense for us to do it, and we could," Miller said. Black Ops 7's graphics and performance on PS4 and Xbox One won't be on par with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, Miller said. He added that the developer's mindset when mapping out new features is that "you should never be thinking about old-gen for the features that you're designing.""
"Also in the interview, Treyarch associate director Lawrence Metten said the team knew it wanted to bring back the Theater mode--which allows players to rewatch matches--even though it won't be supported on last-gen. "We can't support it on old-gen. That's not a reason not to do the feature. We're gonna bite the bullet and disable it on old-gen," he said."
"In other Black Ops 7 news, the developer recently said it rejected a partnership with a "big brand" for collab skins in the wake of criticisms that Call of Duty skins have become too wacky. Black Ops 7 launches on November 14, but you can play the game's multiplayer beta in October. Just recently, Activision announced that the beta will include Zombies and shared a lot of details about Zombies."
Black Ops 7 will release on PS4 and Xbox One to accommodate a large last-gen player base and to assist matchmaking. Graphics and performance on those consoles will not match PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. New features are being designed without old-gen considerations, resulting in some features being disabled on last-gen. Theater mode returns but will be unavailable on older consoles. A proposed collab with a "big brand" for skins was rejected amid criticism of wacky skins. The game launches November 14, with a multiplayer beta in October that includes Zombies.
