Don't buy that extra SSD just nevertheless—it looks like Telephone call of Duty: Black Ops - Common cold War (opens in new tab) won't eat up as much of our deejay infinite as nosotros previously thought. In a new blog post outlining preload times (opens in new tab) and download sizes, Activision snuck in a big amendment (opens in new tab) to the infinite required on PC, dropping it all the manner from 175GB to 82GB required for the full game, at to the lowest degree at launch.

Go along in mind, Cold War'south various graphical levels and "content packs" will touch on that download size. If you're planning on playing the multiplayer and nothing else, you can skip the Campaign and Zombies download to slash the total size down. Playing on "Ultra Graphics" mode, presumably with 4K textures and other fancy bells and whistles, volition greatly bloat the game's size.

Information technology's possible that the previous size requirement was an estimate that included future updates, and that Activision reduced the requirement to just what will actually be there at launch, but we won't know that until former after launch.

Here's the full rundown of download sizes that (hopefully) won't change again before launch.

Cold War PC download sizes

Multiplayer Only: 35GB
Full Game: 82GB
Total Game (Ultra Graphics): 125GB

Perhaps I'm too acquainted with large games eating upwards my SSD in 2020 (opens in new tab), but I'm pretty happy with those numbers. I'm specially jazzed about the power to delete parts of the game on PC, a characteristic that didn't come to Modern Warfare'south PC version until last month (opens in new tab). It's weird that this update has yet to exist reflected on Cold State of war's official Boxing Net folio (it's still reading the wrong 175GB figure). You'd think Activision would want to scream to the heavens about the skilful news.

Fifty-fifty more interesting is that Cold State of war on PC will full out to be smaller than its PS4 and Xbox One counterparts (95GB and 93GB respectively). The Ultra Graphics requirements on PC are besides smaller than the required 133-136GB download on PS5 and Xbox Series X. It sounds similar the Raven/Treyarch camp learned a lesson from the ongoing headaches with Modern Warfare. Though, to be fair, Cold War doesn't have to cistron in Warzone'southward significant disk hunger.
