  • Call of Duty investigates after enormous 84GB update file

    Call of Duty: Warzone trends on Twitter after the update file on Xbox demands an enormous 84GB file size. Yes, the update is so massive that it is almost on par as its full base game. The situation is currently being held in control with Activision investigating the matter. 

    As reported by Game Radar, the size of the update file is big. In comparison with the update size on PS4 clocks, which is at 32 GB, the update file is by far the largest download size. The 32 GB update size on PS4 clocks, compared to that of the Xbox’s 84 GB file size, will take a lot of space on your hard drive. 

    Players took it to Twiter to discuss the massive file size. It even started trending. Gamers expressed frustration towards the huge update that will require them to make space on their hard drives. It should be noted that Modern Warfare’s updates have always had a large file size, even in the past. However, this 84 GB file size is quite a stretch, as opposed to its past updates. 

    This incident prompted Activision to address the issue fast. On their Twitter handle, they stated, “We’re actively investigating an issue for #ModernWarfare where some players on Xbox are seeing a larger than expected download size for today’s update. Stay tuned for updates.” 

    Modern Warfare is the biggest game when it comes to file size. The fact that there is a season 4 update only adds up to the current problem. 

    Activision released the Call of Duty Warzone patch notes that contain a rundown of everything that is coming with Call of Duty Modern Warfare Season 4. The update will be an introduction to Warzone’s new Rumble Mode. The Rumble Mode pits two teams comprised of 50 players who will battle in the Verdansk region. This comes with a new Contraband contract system, bug fixes, and match evens for its free-to-play battle royale. 

  • Call of Duty update packed with bonuses, but has massive file size

    After Activision delayed the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 4, the wait is finally over. Season 4 is here, officially going live at 11:00 p.m., on June 10. The update comes with bonuses, such as changes to Warzone, new battle pass, maps, and modes. 

    According to Forbes, Call of Duty will come with a massive update. The file size will exceed 50 GB in its premium PC version. However, it comes with the benefit of having the Infinity Ward compressing a bunch of assets. It will mean that the smaller eventual file size comes with a bigger initial download. According to Forbes, this is smaller compared to the past. This is the outcome of the developers taking extra measures to control things, even to its minute detail. It is a part of the parcel of the games-as-service era. The games-as-service era is the state where constantly expanding games come with expanding file sizes as well. 

    Expect incredible backstories and narratives with Warzone. The update will come with patch notes, maps, modes, and many more. Since its dominance in 2010, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reigns supreme. After its release, it easily became the best-selling game of the series, beating its previous sales and titles. The free-to-play release of Warzone drove players to upgrade to full version. Statistics also show that the free-to-play release prompted players to spend money on the game’s cosmetics. 

    It has been predicted that Activision will reveal their next game at Sony’s PlayStation 5 event.
