The latest installments of the Call of Duty series have been known to take up quite a bit of storage space. Now there is new information about the latest installment Black Ops 6
. It seems that the game will even be the biggest installment in the series, but this will come at the expense of your hard drive.
What is it about? At this year’s Xbox Showcase, Activision showed new news and content for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. The game also fulfills many fan wishes, such as a classic zombie mode. The game, which is set to be released on October 25, 2024, can already be pre-ordered.
On the Xbox page for the game, there are also technical specifications for the game. The most interesting aspect is the size of the game. The approximate size of the game is given as 309.85 GB.
This is enormous, especially considering that the Xbox Series X has 1 TB without expansion and the original version of the Series S has only 512 GB of storage. One must keep in mind that you cannot use the full stated storage size. Even on the Xbox Series X, it will be difficult to have several AAA games installed.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 shows its new movement:
A true monster for the hard drive
Why is Black Ops 6 so large? You no longer just download the current game with Call of Duty, but also Warzone. You have to do this if you want to play Modern Warfare 3, for example, at the moment. Additionally, you also download the launcher CPD HQ.
Now both Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone state on their Xbox Store page that you will likely need 309.85 GB. Within its update history, the game will only get larger over time.
On Steam, there is currently no information about the required storage space. For Modern Warfare 3, you need 149 GB, or only 78 GB if you have Warzone and CPD HQ already installed. So if you already have Warzone, the download for Black Ops 6 might be smaller. As Esports.gg reported back then, the PC version of Modern Warfare 3 was even larger than the console versions.
Whether and when there will be a preload is still unknown. If you have poor internet, you should definitely plan enough time for downloading, because over 300 GB is quite a lot. What size the game will have on Steam will probably be announced in the coming weeks, but you can expect it to be enormous. If you own the Game Pass, you can even play the game for free
