Infinity Ward has released a new update forCall of Duty: Modern Warfareand theWarzonebattle royale overnight. The update mainly addresses bugs and other issues that have cropped up since Season 5 launched a couple of weeks ago, but the download size is not equal across all platforms. On PS4, the newCall of Duty: Modern Warfareupdate download size is 1.2GB, and on PC, it’s 1.83GB (or 0.88GB for free-to-play players). However, on Xbox One, theModern Warfareupdate file sizeis a staggering 66.3GB.
Infinity Ward has offered an explanation as to why the Xbox One version ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfarehas such a massive download when the PC and PS4 downloads are comparatively much smaller. According to Infinity Ward, the developers encountered a bug with the patch delivery process on Xbox, and so now Xbox One users have to re-download many of the files that they already have. Infinity Ward says that it is working with Microsoft to verify that this doesn’t happen again.

While Xbox One gamers have to deal with a massiveModern Warfareupdate this weekend, the bright side is that it’s not going to increase their overall file size. After downloading the update, theModern Warfarefile size on Xbox One will be about 183GB, andWarzone-only gamers will have a 99.5GB file size. There are ways todelete certainModern Warfarefilesto free up hard drive space if players are hurting for it, so fans should keep that in mind as well.
For those wondering what the update actually does, it fixes some major bugs and other issues that have been plaguing the game since the Season 5 launch, mainly in regards toWarzone. This includes theWarzonegun texture glitch, the Play Again option not working, an ascender bug in Downtown, and an issue where the Common AUG was invisible.
In terms of the standardModern Warfaremultiplayer, the update doesn’t make any big changes, but it has removed some maps from playlist rotations. Arklov Peak and Shipment have been removed from Headquarters, Aniyah Incursion has been removed from Kill Confirmed, Cyber Attack, and Hardpoint, andPiccadillyhas been removed from Hardpoint as well. Meanwhile, Rust has been removed from the Search and Destroy playlist, which is probably for the best as many online have voiced the opinion that Rust is just not a great map for the Search and Destroy-style gameplay.
MoreCall of Duty: Modern Warfareupdates will be coming sooner rather than later. Infinity Ward typically releases a new update every Tuesday, and with theCall of Duty 2020teasesgoing on, one has to imagine that next week’s update could very well see some more hints added toWarzone.
