Call Of Duty: Warzone Finally Getting An Install Size Reduction

Maybe your like

And breathe, PlayStation 5 SSDs. Activision has confirmed that the install size of Call of Duty: Warzone will be reduced once an upcoming patch is downloaded. Arriving alongside a Season Two update for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the Battle Royale shooter's file size will be reduced by as much as 30.6GB. It'll be available for download at 11pm PST on Tuesday night, and how much space is freed up depends on what route you took to download the game.

If you grabbed the title in its purely free-to-play form, the install size will be reduced by 10.9GB. If you downloaded Call of Duty: Warzone as a patch for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, you'll notice a 30.6GB reduction. That goes for both PS5 and PS4 systems. The only issue is that the update needed to bring this file size reduction into effect weighs in at 52GB. You will still get the aforementioned drops in install size, but it'll take place across a large patch that will most likely rewrite files in order to shrink the overall game.

Will this free up enough space for you to download another game to your PS5? Share the joy in the comments below.

They should be giving gamers cash refunds if they are taking data they own away from them.

@Angelus3K it’s data YOU paid for and they just want to take it away from you. And you’re okay with this???

To many people it probably will make little difference if its installed on an external drive like myself on my ps5.

@kyleforrester87 it sounds as if they are utilising a form of compression not deleting any of your data...

@Northern_munkey I agree it’s a form of oppression and we won’t stand for it

@kyleforrester87 they are just making the game files smaller with compression or better optimisation. We aren’t losing anything.

@Angelus3K imagine you had a bank account full of money, and the bank said it was going to reduce the size of your balance so you had more space to put money in future. Would that be okay? This is literally the same thing.

FFS.. a 52gb "patch"... i'd rather just be able to uninstall warzone completely from modern warfare. that's all the disk saving i need.

@kyleforrester87 ok, how old are you because you really don’t know what you’re talking about. Let’s use your analogy. Say you have a bank vault. It’s filled with gold coins. You can’t fit anymore in. You have $1 million. The bank is going to change those coins into $100 bills. So you STILL have $1 million in cash but now have half of your vault space available to add more money into because the bills take up less space than the coins.

@Angelus3K this is so confusing, are you saying I’m a millionaire?

I still don't understand why they won't uncouple Warzone from Modern Warfare. Why can you have Warzone installed by itself, but not Modern Warfare? I don't play Warzone ever and would love the ability to not have that mode installed at all...
