Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Needs 213GB on PC With HQ Textures

Activision Steam

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is pegged to be the most storage-intensive entry in the Call of Duty series on PC when it releases on November 10, 2023, demanding a whopping 213GB of free storage for a full installation of the game. That's no meager amount of storage, especially for the SSD users this announcement seems primarily targeted at. In fact, both the Steam page system requirements and Activision's own system requirement heavily recommend SSD usage.

213GB is a big chunk out of even a 2TB drive, never mind the more common 1TB models. Thankfully, prices on the best SSDs are quite affordable right now, with 2TB models starting at under $100, but the storage bloat of modern games still feels a bit too much.
