Reports are showing that Modern Warfare 3’s file size is absolutely massive. Call of Duty game files are notoriously large, but how big is Modern Warfare 3’s exactly?
How big is the Modern Warfare 3 file size?
Supposedly, the entire Modern Warfare 3 file size is around 213GB. That’s a very hefty file size even for CoD standards. For reference, Apex Legends is around 56GB, Rainbow Six Siege is around 85GB, and Destiny 2 is around 108GB. It seems like every year, CoD takes more GB from us.
I doubt Modern Warfare 3’s campaign and multiplayer will be the only things contributing to the supposed 213GB. In my opinion, I think that includes Warzone, DMZ, and Modern Warfare Zombies… at least that’s what I’m hoping. We won’t know for sure until we get to load Modern Warfare 3 ourselves.
On my PlayStation 5, Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty Warzone already take up around 200GB. Players are reporting that the new COD update to prepare for MW3 is around 21GB. Slowly but surely, COD will take over every GB on your PC, Xbox, or PlayStation.
CharlieIntel on Twitter/X, one of the most well-known outlets for COD coverage, claims that the MW3 campaign alone is around 51GB. Activision really doesn’t care — looks like you’ll need to delete every other game on your device to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Be sure to delete it after completion to get some space back.
Regardless of your device, I highly recommend sorting through your CoD downloads and uninstalling things you aren’t using. For instance, if you won’t be playing MW2 after MW3 comes out, go into your files and uninstall MW2. Just because all CoD games are found in one place doesn’t mean you have to have all of it downloaded to play one of the games.
