While the game is playable onPlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X through backward compatibility, an official next-gen version doesn’t exist at the time of this writing.

It’s also quite likely that such a game would also have ray-tracing support. After all,Call of Duty: Modern Warfarealready has ray-tracing capabilitieswhen playing the PC version of the game.
