Preloading has begun for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, with the game’s file size looking to be one of the smallest in years.
OnPC, preloading is available for both the campaign and multiplayer portion of the game, which can be downloaded together or separately. Together, the two modes total 56GB on PC.
OnPlayStation 5, according to CharlieIntel, campaign pack 1 is 16.44 GB, with campaign pack 2 coming in at 20.998 GB. A file size for the multiplayer portion is not currently available.
Call of Duty’s huge file sizes have been a sticking point for players in recent years. Since introducing the Call of Duty hub, through which all COD releases are installed, the complete file size of having every Call of Duty title installed has ballooned to over 300GB.
