Reddit user HartAttackMan666 posted a photo confirming that Microsoft will refund theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War- Cross-Gen Bundle. This has opened the door for many fans to get back their money before the game can run the risk of causing harm to their system. Without many official options, many fans are looking towards alternatives.

The Core Problem

Players who are powering through the many crashes and reboots thatCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris causing on the Xbox Series Xconsoles are quickly losing patience. Multiple attempts to load the game result in the system being inoperable and not responding to troubleshooting commands.

Many players are citing a lack of communication regarding the bricking of next-generation consoles as their main reason to seek a refund. While both Sony and Microsoft have been quick to resolve damaged systems, Treyarch remains relatively silent about possible solutions. Without an official statement of a fix, players are not willing to risk their investments.

Official Statement

While this problem is on both Microsoft andCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’sdevelopment team, many fans have reported no problems with any other titles. The Xbox Series X/S appears to function as intended, with both next-gen and backward-compatible titles, withBlack Ops Cold Warbeing the noticeable exception.

That leaves many players pointing the blame at Treyarch. As far as official statements go, Treyarch has not released any information. On Reddit, the Community Manager FoxhoundFPS did disclose that they are “investigating all crashes and across the game,” but other than that fans have little reassurance.

The Decision of Many Fans

This leaves fans looking towards a single solution. IfCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris the cause, then they will simply not play it. There are several other next-generation titles that have been released for both the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5. With no reports of heavy errors in other titles, fans can easily reinvest their money into something that they believe is safer for their system.

While manyCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warfans are playing on Xbox One and PS4 platforms, problems are still manifesting. Although the game is not harming old systems, it is still bordering on unplayable for many players. This issue will most likely be a high-priority item for Treyarch as the holiday season is quickly approaching. Any further problems could harmCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’sholiday sales as more refunds are processed by the Xbox community.
