Apart from some changes in the meta, the latest Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Warzone update reduces the game size significantly. Apparently, the developers have separated the high-resolution textures in the game, and players will have the option to either play the game in low resolution or download the high-resolution textures.

Console players can download the high-res textures from the Installs menu, and PC players will have to use an asset streaming system.

Paul Haile, the Production Director on Modern Warfare, recently explained the size shrink in a tweet:

Call of Duty Modern Warfare is one of the biggest games ever, literally

Following the integration with Warzone, Call of Duty Modern Warfare has become a gigantic game. It takes up over 200 GB of storage and the players have often complained about it.

Many players will be excited to play Call of Duty Modern Warfare on the upcoming next-gen consoles. However, the PS5 and the Xbox Series X offer 667 GB and 802 GB storage, respectively. As a result, players might face some problems incorporating other games along with Call of Duty Modern Warfare.

On the flip side, the Xbox Series S only has 364 GB of usable storage. Surprisingly, Modern Warfare could single-handedly exhaust half of its storage.
