Black Ops 6 size on PS5 may take up to 200 GB to install with CoD HQ software
Trusted scooper and insider @PlayStationSize on X recently mentioned a crucial piece of information regarding BO6 on PS5.
The scooper wrote that to play just the Black Ops 6 campaign, PS5 players may have to download a total size of up to 200 GB. While giving an explanation, the account suggested that this situation might arise because of the existing CoD HQ software.
According to the insider, CoD HQ's current size without installing any packs for Modern Warfare 2 and the current installment Modern Warfare 3 is nearly 160 GB.
"To experience the story part of BO6, you need to download 160 GB + 15/30 GB campaign pack, which is close to 200 GB"
It implies that Black Ops 6's campaign might be under 30 GB but players on PS5 won't be able to enjoy it without installing 160 GB of CoD HQ app.
Moreover, the insider also urged Activision to remove MW2's assets from CoD HQ and make MW3 packs optional. Plus, they suggested a solution of downloading a game's campaign separately in 40-50 GB packages.
It will be interesting to see if Activision comes up with a final solution to tackle the complicated situation of the CoD HQ app. Many players haven't really liked it since MW2's release in 2022.
