It’s common knowledge that Activision’s latest Call of Duty games are taking up storage space, but it looks like they could be stretched beyond the PS4 base’s capacity as they get more updates. It may be that, without compression, external storage may be the only way to get the full Call of Duty package on one console from some players.The blog notes that R3 players can click on the main menu of Cold War Black Ops to uninstall content “you may not have played in a while,” say the Campaign or Zombies, as for example. The same can be achieved in Modern Warfare or Warzone by going to the ‘General’ tab in the options menu and then clicking on the ‘Games Installs’ option. Of course, you don’t have to download the Warzone Season 2 update if you plan to just play Cold War Call of Duty Black Ops.
This news arrives before Season 2 launches, which will bring with it a new Zombies mode called Outbreak, new operators, weapons and maps. Zombies also seem to be heading into Warzone, if it is believed to have leaked recently.
Back in October 2020, Epic Games pushed a similar piece to Fortnite to offset its 60 GB storage building. At this point, hopefully, Activision is looking at similar steps, as this is certainly not the final Call of Duty update.
