Download Sizes and Experience​

This is where you come in. The process begins with a download – a big one. But downloading now will pave the way over the next several weeks and ultimately lead to a better experience when Black Ops 6 arrives.



This initial download will not permanently add the stated file size to the storage space that Call of Duty takes up on your device. The update is reorganizing game files and adding new tech to prep the way for the full player interface arriving in October. Once complete, Call of Duty's footprint will decrease due to these file optimizations.

PlayStation® 5 players will acquire this update via four separate downloads. The initial download will be similar to other updates that are needed before booting up Call of Duty. The next update will be triggered within the Call of Duty experience – a download when first accessing Modern Warfare III or Call of Duty: Warzone. After the second update is completed, there will be another download when accessing Modern Warfare III and a final download when accessing Call of Duty: Warzone.



The PS5 requires split downloads due to differences in file organization. The initial download may be larger in size for players who also have Modern Warfare II content installed.



Players on other platforms will acquire the entire update via a single download, similar to other updates that are needed before booting up Call of Duty.

Just get rid of the HQ app and let me access the game I installed directly from the system menu. It can’t be that damn hard.

They want to install everything including their mothers on that drive.

I find it hilarious that the solution to the game size issue is them wanting us to download more stuff.

Console owners please inform this out of touch person. Have Activision managed to put a launcher on a console?

I actually stopped playing cod games partially due to their inefficient handling of updates.
