Call of Duty (both Modern Warfare and Warzone) have been getting weekly updates and patches, but today (April 28) brings one of the biggest updates ever. According to Activision and Infinity Ward, you might need to clear some space on your PC or console for this one…
Writing in the developer blog, Infinity Ward warned Modern Warfare players: “Tuesday’s update includes a required download for PlayStation and Xbox, about 15gbs, and is required to access Modern Warfare.”
In case you’re keeping score, that bumps Modern Warfare to up to nearly 200 GB in size. Yikes.
Giving you some helpful tips on the download, Activision has the following to say: “For this week’s update, owners of the full version of Modern Warfare will have two separate downloads in order to complete the update. Once the update is live, players will download the patch as normal.
“Once that is completed, when an owner of the full version of Modern Warfare tries to access Multiplayer, Special Ops, or Campaign they will be prompted to download the Data Pack DLC. During the Data Pack DLC download, you’ll have access to Warzone so, jump into a match of Battle Royale or Plunder. When the download is complete, players must restart the game to access all modes of Modern Warfare. Free-to-play Warzone users will not have a secondary download to download the Data Pack DLC with this update.”
Once you’ve got your hardware sorted out, there’s going to be a lot of new stuff to sink your teeth into. From the Activision blog: “This week adds a new weapon to your arsenal – the MK9 Bruen LMG, create insane new hybrid blueprint weapons with the update to Gunsmith, get on the path to earn a Mastery camo, experience close quarters action in the return of the ‘Shoot the Ship’ playlist, level up with a Double XP, Double Weapon XP, and Double Tier Progression earn rate, and more!”
The latest patch will go live later today.
