While we don’t know exactly how much free space either console will allow for game installs after system files and other mandatory data, Black Ops Cold War will undoubtedly take up a healthy chunk of your system storage regardless of platform. Both consoles are shipping with NVMe SSDs, but Sony’s is slightly smaller than Microsoft’s 1TB model at just 825GB. The same appears to be true of Black Ops Cold War, although now players of the next-gen version will have to account for that added bump in file size for what is likely texture packs and other graphical improvements that take advantage of the more powerful chipsets in the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Currently, Modern Warfare with Warzone combined totals more than 173GB on my PS4 Pro, and that’s with the campaign uninstalled.

Here’s the full breakdown of file sizes across platforms:Ĭall of Duty has become a notoriously storage-intensive game since the Modern Warfare reboot in fall of last year, and it was only made worse by the addition of the Warzone battle royale mode that launched back in March, adding tens more gigabytes to the overall footprint of the game. Another source of pain is that for buyers of the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S, the game will take up roughly an additional 40GB of space on your new solid state drive. And in keeping with tradition, the game is massive.

Activision has detailed the file sizes of its upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, releasing across existing consoles and next-gen hardware on November 13th.
