News by Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editorial Director Updated on 11 Jun 2020 45 comments Some Xbox One players of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone were this morning faced with a mammoth 84GB download. Season 4 of Infinity Ward's shooter kicked off at 7am this morning, and with it came a download the developer had warned would be "large". The download weighs in at 45GB on PC, 32.375GB on PS4, and 44GB on Xbox One. At least, it's supposed to be 44GB on Xbox One. However, some Xbox One users are having to download twice that size - and as you'd expect the reaction is negative.

Modern Warfare's newest update is so outrageously big that '84 GB' has reached the second spot on Twitter's worldwide trends list pic.twitter.com/diM7ncjU8u- Nibel (@Nibellion) June 11, 2020 To see this content please enable targeting cookies. Manage cookie settings Activision has said it's investigating the issue, so it sounds like this Xbox One download size is an error. However, that won't be of much help to the Call of Duty fans that are already in the middle of the download. We're actively investigating an issue for #ModernWarfare where some players on Xbox are seeing a larger than expected download size for today's update.

If you had the complete Call of Duty: Modern Warfare experience on your PlayStation 4 (pre-Season 4 update), it took up 190.1GB on your hard-drive. In a series of tweets issued last night, Infinity Ward community manager Ashton Williams said Infinity Ward was reducing the overall disc space that Modern Warfare and Warzone take up by compressing assets. This means that once installed, the Series 4 update will only take up an additional 4GB on consoles. However, players are still faced with an enormous download this morning. Watch on YouTube Williams pointed to the option for console players to uninstall content packs for modes they're not playing in order to free up space. However, this option is not available to PC players. Williams added Infinity Ward is "continuing to sweep all assets to make size reductions where we can, and also further optimise future patches for size", which hopefully means future Call of Duty: Modern Warfare downloads won't be quite as big.
