According to the officialCall of DutyUpdates Twitter account, the latest patch, which was deployed on May 30, has “mitigated the performance issues that were causing hitching and stuttering.”
Season 4 also saw the unexpectedremoval of Battle Royale Solos fromCall of Duty: Warzone, yet another massively controversial decision that has gone down like a lead balloon with the community.
