An entire set up of Name of Responsibility: Fashionable Warfare 3 with the total “high-rez belongings cache” shizzle involves a barely foolish 213GB. In response to the sport’s official Twitter / X / no matter account that is as a result of “zombies” and another stuff. However do not panic, you’ll be able to “uninstall particular content material you aren’t actively enjoying”.
Extra particularly, it is conceded that information sizes for this model of Name of Responsibility are bigger than earlier than. The rationale?
“That is as a result of elevated quantity of content material obtainable Day 1, together with open world Zombies, assist for merchandise carry ahead from #MW2, in addition to map information for present Name of Responsibility: Warzone.”
So there you go. Open world zombies are significantly storage intensive. Properly, that and carry-forward maps and stuff. Barely confusingly, the put up additionally claims, “as a part of our ongoing optimization efforts, your ultimate set up dimension can be truly smaller than the mixed earlier Name of Responsibility experiences.”
That means that there’s ongoing work on lowering the general set up dimension of Fashionable Warfare 3. In fact, the headline 213GB was all the time a worst case state of affairs.
In follow, few current CoD avid gamers must give over that a lot area to the brand new title. However there’s additionally little doubting that sport set up sizes proceed to balloon.

That sounds spectacular, however in a world the place a single sport can suck up a whole lot of GB a pop, even 2TB does not permit for a very large sport library. And with SSD chip makers beginning to improve prices, the storage good instances could not final an excessive amount of longer.
The retort could be that avid gamers are likely to deal with only some titles at a time. So, who wants a whole lot of video games put in on the identical time?
If the precise variety of video games anybody desires to have put in at one time is a reasonably private factor, there additionally needs to be some extent at which sport set up sizes get foolish. And if it isn’t 213GB, we would prefer to know what it’s.
It will be fascinating to see precisely how a lot area Fashionable Warfare 3 sucks up when it launches in precisely one week’s time. Likewise, we’ll preserve our scanners peeled to see if that determine reduces over time. Watch this area.
