Black Ops 7 Dev Team Responds to Major Console Performance Complaints

Ever since Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 released on November 14, many console players have been speaking out about frustrating FPS drops and stutters that make matches difficult to enjoy — especially in 120Hz mode. Now, the developers have finally responded.

🎮 What Console Players Are Experiencing

Reports have been flooding social channels from Xbox Series X and PS5 Pro users saying the game becomes unstable during matches.

Noticeable FPS drops and screen stuttering
Happens most often when running 120Hz
Some players say they see it even at 60Hz
Performance issues across multiple maps and modes

One player summed it up bluntly: the game has been a “stuttery, unstable mess” since launch. Others even called it “literally unplayable.”

🛠️ Treyarch Acknowledges the Problem

Community managers from Treyarch have replied to several reports, confirming that a fix is in the works. While they haven’t shared a timeline yet, they are actively gathering information from players to help track the source of the performance drops.

They’ve asked for:

Gameplay clips of the issue happening
Server Latency and Packet Loss telemetry enabled
Details on settings, such as 120Hz mode
Info on whether Scorestreaks or other triggers make it worse

Despite some players reporting that it happens everywhere, the team continues investigating to identify exactly what’s going wrong on console hardware.

🔧 More Gameplay Updates Coming Soon

Performance fixes aren’t the only thing on the horizon. Treyarch also confirmed some gameplay tuning is planned:

Increased aim assist
SMG buffs
General bug fixes

These updates are expected to arrive with the Season 1 patch in early December, which should hopefully also deliver improvements to overall console stability.

📝 Final Thoughts

Right now, there’s no exact ETA for a fix, but the good news is Treyarch is fully aware of the issues and already digging into player reports. With Season 1 right around the corner, console users are hoping the update will finally make Black Ops 7 feel smooth and consistent.
