In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and CoD Warzone, players can already pre-download the new update 1.27 for the new season – but only on the PS4. Additionally, the exact start date of the new Season 6 and the size of the patch are now known.
What is the preload about? As was first introduced in Season 5, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the battle royale Warzone now also allow you to download the new update 1.27 (patch notes) early, including Season 6.
This ensures that players can dive straight into the fresh content at the start of the new season instead of having to download the required data for a long time first. Many players have wished for this for a long time.
All about the Season 6 preload
On which platforms is the preload active? Currently, only players on PlayStation 4 can preload the new CoD patch. It is still unclear whether other platforms, such as Xbox One and PC, can also download the new content in advance.
When can you start the preload? The preload on PS4 has been active since yesterday (27.09.). If you have automatic downloads enabled, the corresponding download should also start. To be sure, you can manually check for updates.
If you still don’t see a new update – don’t despair. Even during the currently ending Season 5, the preload on PS4 took place in 2 phases, and one is assigned to one of the two preload waves completely randomly. So if you can’t download the update yet, you will definitely be able to catch up today.
How big is the download for Season 6 and update 1.27? On PS4, the new update 1.27 is nearly 20.5 GB in size. It is currently unknown how it looks on PC and Xbox.
When exactly does Season 6 start? The ongoing preload has also revealed the exact start time of the new Season 6. Although the patch can already be downloaded now, it can only be installed at 8:00 AM on 29.09. (German time).
Season 6 will start on September 29 at 8:00 AM in Germany – on all platforms.
