The file size of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone is getting larger. PC players are now reporting that the game no longer fits on a 250 GB SSD drive. We will show you what you can do about the size.
This is the status of the file size: The size of Modern Warfare is a problem on all platforms. Console players complained in April, as the game was almost 200 GB at that time.
Now the first PC players are also reaching their limits. Modern Warfare is reported not to fit on an SSD drive with 250 GB since the last update.
Game files huge – What can be done?
Why is Modern Warfare so large? There are numerous files in Modern Warfare. This also includes the Battle Royale Warzone, which is actually a standalone game. Additionally, there is the campaign and the Spec Ops. These are some files, and that’s how the numerous gigabytes add up.
What can you do about it? If you have an SSD drive with 250 GB and are struggling with space issues, there are some measures to counteract this.
The game itself is not larger than 250 GB, but it requires this space for installation. So if the installation works for you, then Modern Warfare is smaller than 250 GB and fits on the SSD drive.
If that doesn’t work for you, you can reinstall the game completely. Players report that it fit on the SSD drive after reinstallation.
A long-term alternative is to buy a larger SSD drive. The first drives with 500 GB of storage start at about 55 Euros. Then you can also have multiple games installed there and don’t have just one SSD drive for only one game.
That doesn’t work on PC: On consoles, you have the option to simply not download some parts of Modern Warfare. So if you no longer want to play multiplayer, you can just delete it and free up space.
However, this is not possible on PC. Through the Battle.net launcher, you can only download the complete package of Modern Warfare.
Anyone who wants to keep all parts of Modern Warfare on the PS4 should consider purchasing an SSD for the console. Here you can find more information: These are the 4 best SSDs for the PS4 2020
