The download of Black Ops 6 is over 300 GB in size – and gamers are amazed

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 looks awesome and the FPS community is already looking forward to the game's release in October. But there is not only good news.

Not long after the BO6 As the reveal presentation following the Xbox Games Showcase wrapped up yesterday, players quickly noticed some disturbing information in the Additional Information section of the game's Xbox Store page.

According to the store list BO6s The approximate size is 309.85 GB, which is shockingly large for a game's download size even by 2024 standards. And as you can imagine, gamers weren't happy about it.

Gamers posted memes about how their PS4 exploded when they installed 300GB of content, comparing the size to multiple installations of other popular games like Elden Ringand called the file size of 309 GB a “real crime”.

In reality, however, the approximate size is just that: an approximation. This list probably covers the complete call of Duty HQ download, together with BO6s Installations of multiplayer, campaign, zombies, war zone, and other packages needed to play the entire game.

As in recent years with cod The headquarters as a hub for cod Title, once a player has finished the campaign, for example, it can be uninstalled. This reduces the installation size, as well as optimized downloads. And once players are MW3which can also be uninstalled to reduce the size.

BO6 may actually be a shocking amount of GB when downloaded, but the approximate 309 GB is probably more than players will ultimately use, so the outcry is to be expected, but probably overblown in the grand scheme of things.

This is no excuse cod at all. Currently on my PS5 with only MW3 Multiplayer and War zone The game is 209.6 GB in size after installation. That's a lot, but since the developers are constantly pushing the boundaries of graphics and sound fidelity, that's to be expected.

It might be time for hardcore cod Gamers should consider investing in a larger SSD for their console or PC.
