Call of Duty Cold War was pre-ordered by many, with the only hope to play it on launch day. As it turns out, simply having the game does not mean one can play. Not even if they have previously pre-loaded the game as soon as it was available.
The major reason behind this unfortunate incident is the release of next-gen consoles. The launch of COD Black Ops- Cold War coincided with the launch of PS5 and Xbox Series X and S. This has led to a lot of traffic in the servers. Reportedly the servers were working overtime to keep up with the overflowing traffic.
