Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Needs A Huge Amount Of Disk Space

By Shane McGlaun

All gamers can agree that the size of video games is getting to be too large. One clear example is the recent reveal of the PC specs for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War requiring up to 250 gigabytes of storage. That much storage is required for those who want to run the game using Ultra RTX settings.

Those who won’t run the game on its highest settings can download multiplayer only for 50 gigabytes of disk space. Those who want all game modes will need 175 gigabytes of storage space for Recommended and the Competitive Specs. Many hope that storage requirements will be reduced over time. Modern Warfare saw the amount of space it needed reduced via patches.
