Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Season 4 Patch Update Draws Major Criticism
Follow Us
Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Season 4 was teasing us on the horizon for a while. Now that it is finally here, we are not sure how to feel about it. For starters, Infinity Ward initially announced the update would be 44GB for Xbox. However, when Xbox users started the download, it was 84GB! On the other hand, it is a mere 32GB for PS4.
The patch itself is quite significant; thus, several Xbox users have to clear their storage space. Infinity Ward updated on their Twitter about people facing issues. They have also made an entire blog on how to work with the storage space problem for Xbox and PS4.

The relief that Season 4 is finally here, accompanied by the task of storage clearance, has surprised the community. Franky, the size will not be an issue as most were positively enthused and looking forward to Season. Although, Activision Support did address the issue as well.
We're actively investigating an issue for #ModernWarfare where some players on Xbox are seeing a larger than expected download size for today's update. Stay tuned for updates

The devs have stated that the actual update will take up just 4Gb of additional space once the download is done.

Xbox Players:
The Xbox Patch Update size should’ve actually been around 44GB. @ATVIAssist is currently looking into why it showed up at 84GB for most players.
But remember when it’s finished installing, it’ll only take up an additional 4GB of your hard drive memory 😅

Activision has stated that the enormous file size is a bug and they’re working on it. In fact, the devs may have already found a fix since certain Xbox users have since reported the update size to be 33GB.
