Infinity Ward released a new update forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2with a massive file size of 40 GB. RecentCall of Dutygames have been criticized for their enormous sizes, withBlack Ops Cold Wartaking over 200 GB of spaceon PS5. The same was true for 2019’sModern Warfare, which prompted users to download dozens of GB of data regularly.It previously looked likeModern Warfare 2would break this trend, as its download size is relatively small. The base game takes just 35 GB of storage space, but users will have to install various packs for each of its gameplay modes. There are two packs forMW2’s campaign that require approximately 16.7 GB in total, with more space needed for multiplayer and Special Ops co-op mode. However, it looks likeMW2may continue to get large patches as Infinity Ward has already released an update with a massive download size.RELATED:Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Has Burger Town Operator, But There’s a CatchAs reported by the PlayStation Game Size Twitter account, a 40.156 GB update forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is now live on PS5.
