With just a few hours to the Early Access launch, the Modern Warfare 3 campaign packs are now listed on PS5 and PS4. As soon as the pre-load phase kicks off, players can download them.

However, this time around, the procedure is a bit of a chore. Since Call of Duty decided on a single client for their future releases, it won't be as simple to download them as it used to be.

That said, in this article, we'll take a closer look at how you can install the Modern Warfare 3 campaign packs on your PlayStation console.

Installing Modern Warfare 3 campaign packs on the PS5 and the PS4 is a pretty straightforward process, provided you know where to find them. Here's how you can begin your installation:

  • Turn on your PS5/PS4 console and log in to the account you bought Modern Warfare 3 on.
  • Now, navigate to the Call of Duty HQ client.
  • Press the 'Options' button on your controller.
  • Find the 'Manage game content' option.
  • Finally, select 'Install' next to both the campaign packs to begin installation.

Once the above steps are complete, MW3 campaign files will be downloaded to your system, and when the game goes live, you'll be ready to hop into the action right away.

Currently, the Call of Duty client on PS5 and PS4 has listed two distinct packages for download, and they differ based on size. These packages are:

  • Campaign Pack 1: 18.042 GB
  • Campaign Pack 2: 32.92 GB

However, you won't be able to download them right now as the pre-load is yet to kick off. That said, for those wondering about the campaign pre-load date and times, check the section below.
