Now Playing: Call of Duty: Vanguard Review
Not everyone reported issues, but some of those who did said they were wearing high-quality headphones and found the sound switch from one ear to the other as if the directional settings are too high.
It’s unclear when this will be addressed, or if Sledgehammer already made an attempt to do so, but the developer is aware that it’s an issue. Back in September during the beta period, the studio said it was looking into “audio mixing” specifically, though this wasn’t listed under its “fixed for launch” section. Let us know your thoughts on the audio so far in the comments.
Call of Duty: Vanguard launched with cross-play support on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. In our Call of Duty: Vanguard review, Phil Hornshaw praised certain “good additions to the franchise” but said the game’s ideas don’t always work well with the basic Call of Duty framework.
