500 GB PS4 will no longer be able to adapt to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone

Activision said players with a 500GB PlayStation 4 might “need to make room” if they want the fully updated versions of Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare / Warzone to be present on a single system. Call of Duty Blog, franchise publisher wrote: “Those with a standard PlayStation 4 with a default 500GB hard drive may need to make room if they have the full versions of Modern Warfare® / Warzone and Black Ops Cold War with all modes and packs installed. If both games are installed and you are kept up to date with updates, you may need to remove unused game content in order for you to download and upload. installation of [latest] Patch Warzone. “

It’s common knowledge that Activision’s latest Call of Duty games take up swathes of storage, but it looks like they may outgrow the capacity of a base PS4 as they receive more updates. It may be that without compression, external storage will become the only way to have the full Call of Duty package on a console for some players.

The blog notes that players can click R3 in the Black Ops Cold War main menu to uninstall “content you may not have played in a while,” say the Campaign or the Zombies, for example. The same can be achieved in Modern Warfare or Warzone by going to the “General” tab in the options menu and then clicking on the “Game Installations” option. Of course, you don’t need to download the Warzone Season 2 update if you plan to play Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War only.

Have you played Call of Duty: Warzone?

YESNO

This news comes ahead of the launch of Season 2, which brings with it a new Zombies mode called Outbreak, new Operators, weapons, and maps. Zombies also seem to be heading towards Warzone, if recent leaks are to be believed.

In October 2020, Epic Games pushed a patch on Fortnite, of a similar size, to reduce its storage space by 60 GB. At this point, I hope Activision is looking into similar measures, as it certainly won’t be the last. Call of Duty update.
