Activision said that the download and installation size of "Call of Duty 21: Black Ops 6" will be smaller than its predecessor "Call of Duty 20: Modern Warfare 3" when it is first released. This is mainly because when players download and install "Call of Duty 21", they will no longer download and install "Warzone" by default.


That's thanks to a number of updates planned between now and the game's launch that change the way Call of Duty games are installed by default. The first of these updates will arrive as part of the Season 5 Reloaded update for Warzone and Modern Warfare 3.

In recent years, gamers who downloaded the standalone Call of Duty would also have Warzone installed by default. Activision says that will now change, and when players buy a new Call of Duty game, they will only have to install the files required for that game.

Players can 'opt in' to get Call of Duty: Warzone when downloading a new Call of Duty game, or download it separately at any time. The choice is yours。”

The Season 5 update will also restructure the game files and "add new technology" in preparation for a major overhaul in October.

As part of this reorganization, players will have to download "a large" update, but Activision says "downloading it now will pave the way for a better experience in the coming weeks and ultimately when Black Ops 6 arrives."
