For years, our PC storage has wobbled and buckled beneath the tyranny ofgigantic Call Of Duty installs. Like 13th century peasants straining to convey huge, teetering loads of freshly quarried LMGs, our SSDs cry out for justice. Perhaps scenting imminent rebellion and a mass audience desertion to low-poly shooters with more civilised file sizes, Activision have relented. Future installations of the much-paddedFPSwill be “smaller and more customised”, though in a last cruel stroke of villainy, they want you to download a large update to prepare the ground.
To “pave the way” for all this, Activision want you to download a Call Of Duty update right now, a couple of weeks beforethe Black Ops 6 betaand a few months ahead of theBlack Ops 6 release date. This will “[reorganise] game files and [add] new tech to prep the way for the full player interface arriving in October”. It’s a big file, but the developers promise that “this initial download will not permanently add the stated file size to the storage space that Call of Duty takes up on your device”. Once you’ve installed it, you can expect Call Of Duty to take up less space over time.
