Warzone 2 Download Size
The Warzone 2 download size has been revealed thanks to CharlieIntel. According to their tweet, the update will be available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, and you’ll need at least 115GB of free space to download and install Warzone 2 on pretty much any system.
While the download you’ll need to do is closer to around 30 GB if you’re downloading through MW2, the install space reflects the data once it has been installed on your system.

There is a chance that the download size could vary significantly between different platforms. Part of reason for the difference in size is that specific systems use proprietary compression that can result in smaller files.
Luckily this 115GB total is nowhere near the huge 500GB+ figure that was the total install size of the original Warzone by the time it had seen a few updates. It got so bad, that you can’t install OG Warzone on a stock PS4 anymore.
