Following last week's latest patch and additional DLC content, the Modern Warfare file size now occupies close to GB on any given platform, and these updates are required to keep playing the game online.
They also mean even those buying a new physical copy will have to wait for a substantial period before they can actually play. This follows two patches that went live on April Warzone players on console could skip the latter of the two, reducing their overall download requirement and file size.
Downloading big updates has become normal for Modern Warfare players, so much so that developer Infinity Ward addressed it specifically in February. During the lead up to Season 2, Infinity Ward stressed that the large update size at the time in excess of 50GB would help reduce update sizes in the future, while also improving the game's overall footprint on your hard drive. At the time Infinity Ward explained that this was to ensure future content updates had space to exist, but that estimate has already been exceeded following this week's patch.
It's leading to a lot of frustration from players , especially when Infinity Ward isn't being clear as to why the game requires more and more space on consoles and PC alike. But if you plan on continuing you play online, there's no other option.
We've reached out to Activision for comment on Modern Warfare's on-going update situation. Though now that the game is about to head into Season 5, many players concerns about the mounting file size of the game is steadily growing as well.
It has since made steps to address the problem on both PC and console. Hopefully those who preloaded the Season 5 update also installed the update prior to it. Source: Activision.

The company openly warned the owners of a standard PlayStation 4 with a GB hard drive that their console may not allow having the full versions of Modern Warfare: Warzone and Black Ops: Cold War with all modes and packs installed. But all those goodies don't come without a price. Fans of the series are constantly complaining about shooter's file size , exceeding hundreds of GBs and not allowing for a solid game library to be available whenever they need.
For the first time, Activision has addressed the issue, though it has not provided any solutions as CoD fans hoped they would. Activision mentioned possible difficulties with installing updates for a PS4 in the official Call Of Duty blog. According to the company, now all standard PS4s with a GB hard drive may not be enough for full versions of recent CoD games with all additional packages installed.
