At Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Warzone stands on 10.6. in the morning the download of a big update for the start of Season 4. Activision Blizzard is already warning: the download is getting big. Sources report up to 49.7 gigabytes on the PC, almost 49 GB on Xbox One and 34.7 GB on the PS4. Why is the patch so big? To save hard disk space.
When does the patch come? Around 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, June 11th, German time the patch is to come, which initiates Season 4 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone.
This is how big the download is supposed to be: A leak that also correctly predicted the release date of Season 4 mentions the following sizes: (via twitter):
- 34.7 GB – PlayStation 4
- 48.9 GB – Xbox One
- 44.3 GB – PC (for players who only play Call of Duty: Warzone for free)
- 49.7 gigabytes – PC (for players who enjoy the full Call of Duty program, i.e. premium players)
Patch becomes large, but memory is spared
Is that confirmed? So half, the exact GB data have not yet been confirmed. However, community manager Ashton Williams already warns: The season 4 download is actually getting big.
The Season 4 download is going to be large. In order to reduce the overall disc space that MW and WZ take up, we’re compressing a bunch of assets. Once installed, the S4 launch will only take up an additional 4GB on consoles for all of the new content.

According to the statement by the community manager, the gigabyte numbers from the leak sound plausible. If the community manager says that the download will be “big”, then it will probably be really big.
That’s why the patch is so big: However, the “disk space consumption” of Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Warzone should not increase as much as the large patch appears.
It is said that a number of assets are pressed together, so that the launch of Season 4 should only use 4 gigabytes more space on the hard disk than the version without Season 4 does now.
The Call of Duty hard drive size becomes a problem, especially on PS4 and XBox One. The players hardly have any space for other games besides Call of Duty. Here we told you how you do that Reduced hard drive consumption from CoD to PS4 and XBox One.
