When is the FOV slider coming to Warzone for PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series? Fans have been waiting for the feature for a long time. Insiders now have bad news.

Santa Monica, California – Many Warzone fans have long wanted an FOV slider on consoles. On PC this feature has long been included, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S have to do without it. When CoD Vanguard enabled the feature at least for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, many fans became hopeful. Now insiders had devastating news about the FOV slider in Call of Duty Warzone.

Warzone: FOV slider for PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series – insiders bring shocking news

Where did the information come from?

The information comes from two well-known insiders: Tom Henderson and TheMW2 Ghost. Both are known in the CoD community for their deep insights into the industry and their accurate predictions. TheMW2 Ghost was also recently involved in a leak to Warzone that Rebirth Island is going away in – Season 2. The two leakers talked about the CoD Warzone 2 rumors in a stream on YouTube, and the topic of FOV sliders came up.

What is the FOV slider?

In short, FOV stands for Field of View. On the PC, this can be increased in Warzone and other shooters. This allows you to see more of your surroundings. Although this doesn’t automatically make you better, seeing more definitely brings significant advantages. This is also possible in CoD Vanguard on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. Many fans therefore hoped that the FOV slider would also be available in Warzone for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Is the FOV slider coming to consoles?

The FOV slider will most likely not come for Warzone. According to Henderson and TheMW2 Ghost, there is a technical reason for this. In their livestream, both explained that this feature is simply not technically possible on consoles in Warzone.

This is why the FOV slider is not possible for PS4 and Xbox One:

The reason PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S don’t get FOV slider in Warzone is quite simple. The old generation of consoles – PS4 and Xbox One – can’t do it. At least not without having to accept heavy losses in graphics or performance. With over 100 players, the expanded field of view in Warzone would cause too many problems.

Some of the Warzone developers Henderson spoke with, “didn’t want to make Warzone 2”, which for the leaker is a sign that there are problems with the engine and hardware. This only further supports the theory that the FOV slider will not be coming to PS4 and Xbox One.

This is how likely the FOV slider is for PS5 and Xbox Series:

Things look a bit different for the current PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles. The consoles from Sony and Microsoft are basically able to use the FOV slider. The function is finally included in CoD Vanguard. The problem: Warzone runs on these consoles via backwards compatibility. So it’s a game for PS4 and Xbox One. So in order to use the FOV slider for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, Raven Software would have to release a PS5 and “Xbox Series X/S” version of Warzone.

In our estimation, however, this is rather unlikely. The implementation of such a project is quite costly. With all the projects Activision has planned for the next few years, there seems to be little room for such a release. So better not count on a FOV slider for Warzone coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
