Why Warzone’s File Size Is a Problem
The Warzone install size has become legendary — with some players reporting over 250 GB once campaign and multiplayer packs are installed.
If you only play Warzone, there’s no reason to let your drive get swallowed by unnecessary content. Here’s how to slim it down and keep your SSD breathing.
📦 Warzone-Only Install Size Breakdown
| Platform | Warzone Only | Full COD Install (All Modes) |
|---|---|---|
| PS5 / Series X | 110–130 GB | 180–250 GB |
| Series S | 95–110 GB | 160–220 GB |
| PC | 100–120 GB | 200–300 GB |
This depends on whether you include texture packs, cinematics, and optional content.
“You can save around 80 GB just by deleting the campaign and high-resolution packs,” noted one community manager on Reddit.
🧭 How to Reduce Your Warzone Install Size
- Install Warzone mode only.
On PS5 / Xbox: Manage Game Content → Uninstall Campaign and Multiplayer. - Remove HD texture packs.
These can add 25–40 GB each with minimal benefit. - Delete language packs.
Non-essential localization files often take 5–10 GB. - Regularly purge cache and update files.
Old patch data may persist even after updates. - Use external storage.
Offload other games to keep Warzone running smoothly.
🧩 Pro Tip – SSD Optimization for Battle Royale Games
