“The versions tested were 1.004.000 on PS5 and 1.0.3.0 on Xbox Series X|S (both were using the latest version at the time of testing). The 120fps mode was captured at 1080p. Ray tracing was enabled in the 60fps mode tested on PS5 and Xbox Series X which uses a form of ray tracing for certain shadows. Xbox Series S doesn’t have a 120fps mode or a ray tracing mode.”

Though it sounds like you're not missing out on much. The ray tracing is supposed to be very subtle and only has a minor effect on shadows.

Unfortunate that it have the pack to download but can't use it. Wasn't smartdelivery supposed to download what was the version adequate to the HW?

Smart Delivery is a backward/forward compatibility feature and doesn't apply to different versions between X1 and X1X or XSS and XSX.

It's true that Cold War doesn't support ray tracing on Series S but maybe it will in a future update so they made it possible to download it.

Besides, you can choose what to download and install so I don't see the problem:

Have I said there was a problem? I was just surprised because my understanding of Smart Delivery it would download the right version for the machine.

CoD doesn't support smart delivery though. Blame Activision.

Understood, well blaming Activision is kinda pointless as we don't really expect much from them right?
