Good news, everyone: your Call of Duty installs are going to be a lot smaller following the launch of Black Ops 6. But there's a bit of bad news, too, as you're going to have to suffer some "larger initial updates" before that happens.

They're also making efforts to stream more textures over the internet while you play, leading to smaller initial downloads. As part of this whole effort,  the central UI is also getting a big revamp to make it easier to get to the games, as "top content will be visible on one clean page without needing to scroll."
