How big is the Black Ops Cold War file size?

The Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War file size was released on the Activision blog for each individual platform, including next-gen consoles.

In the post from Activision, the file sizes were revealed along with the official pre load times for each platform. The consoles are going to have very similar file sizes, with some differences depending on the generation. PlayStation 4 will have a 95GB file size, while Xbox One will have 2GB less at 93.

However, the file size changes for the next-gen consoles. PlayStation 5 will have 133GB, which is lower this time, when compared to the Xbox Series X/S, at 136GB.

PC will have 3 separate file sizes that compare to consoles with the full file. For PC multiplayer, the file size is only 35GB, while the secondary download raises it to 82GB. The full game with Ultra HD Graphics however, is 125GB on PC.
