Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War takes up 220 GB on PS5. Players complain about the size and the console’s small drive

The creators of the Call of Duty series have received permission from Activision to expand the game without splitting the community. The publisher no longer wants to fatigue the community with extra map packs, and all content is available to the entire audience. On the one hand, this is good news, but more and more fans see another problem: the size of the game.

Following the latest update, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War takes up 219.8 GB on PlayStation 5. As a reminder, 667 GB on the Sony console’s drive is allocated for games, so the full version occupies almost a third of the entire SSD.

Naturally, players are unhappy with the Call of Duty series developers and Sony – even after deleting the Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War campaign, the product still takes up 154 GB. And it remains one of the most popular games on PlayStation 5.

Given that other games are also taking up increasingly more drive space, players will soon only be able to install 3–4 large AAA games on the new console.
