The official Activision support site actually recommends around 112 GB be free for “an optimized download experience,” which just makes no sense to me (is the game downloading a full installer then unpacking the files?). If you intend on getting Black Ops 4 physically, you’ll need to download a 50 GB patch before you can play it. Apparently not this year, as Black Ops 4’s game enabling patch is massive.


While we’ve been seeing game sizes increase over the last few years, usually buying a disc means you get to skip some downtime by having the files ready to install. With the news that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s disc wouldn’t function without a day-one update, the next question in order was how large of an update was required.
