Black Ops Cold War Download Size Passes 100GB

Xbox Series X/S users will have it the worst when installing Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, per an Activision blog post. Microsoft's next-generation console has the largest install size, at 136GB. Meanwhile, PC players will be able to mix and match elements, allowing them the lowest possible download size should they choose to download only the multiplayer.

Here's how the download sizes break down across consoles:

  • PlayStation 4: 95GB
  • PlayStaton 5: 133GB

  • Xbox Series X/S: 136GB
  • PC (Multiplayer Only): 35GB
  • PC (Full Game): 82 GB
  • PC (Full Game on Ultra Graphics): 125GB

Once the game is installed, console players can choose to uninstall specific game mode packs, such as for the game's story mode or for Zombies. PC players can do the same thing during the installation process.
