Infinity Ward’s latest update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone has been released today across all platforms. The update pays particular focus on a recent graphical corruption issue affecting weapons. But the patch is a rather large one for Xbox players. For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone on Xbox One, the update is 66.3GB. Meanwhile, for the PlayStation 4, the patch is considerably smaller at only 1.2GB, while Call of Duty players on PC will need to install a 0.88GB patch, with a 1.83GB patch available for Warzone and Modern Warfare. Of course, as a result, many players within the Call Of Duty subreddit are not happy.
It’s a lot to take in. The looming question remains, however, why is the patch size for Xbox One considerably bigger? Infinity Ward explained why in a blog post. The studio said that “due to an unforeseen bug with the Microsoft patch delivery process, this download requires Xbox users to redownload files they already have, but it does NOT impact the overall install size.” They added that they are “working closely with Microsoft to ensure future updates are smaller in size.”
