As promised, Infinity Ward has released a new patch for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare that allows PC players to reduce the title’s monstrous, 230+ GB footprint by uninstalling game modes that they have no interest in. According to a post shared on r/pcgaming, a total of 129 GB can be saved if you choose to tick all of the available options, which brings the minimum storage requirement to around 100 GB (the default/full installation size weighs in at 232 GB). Here’s the breakdown:
- Removing Campaign: 34.53 GB saved
- Removing Multiplayer: 42.12 GB saved
- Removing Special Ops (Co-op): 37.83 GB saved
- Removing Campaign + Special Ops: 72.37 GB Saved
- Removing all three: 129.16 GB Saved
Unfortunately for Battle Royale haters, Call of Duty: Warzone is a permanent fixture that cannot be uninstalled. (It doesn’t take a genius to figure out what Activision is hinging the future of the franchise on.)
You’ll find Infinity Ward’s complete patch notes and instructions for uninstalling portions of Modern Warfare following the video break below.
