Infinity Ward Posts Tutorial on How to Reduce Modern Warfare File Size on PS4

reduce modern warfare file size

It’s no secret by now that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is one huge game when it comes to taking up space in your platform’s disk drive. While Infinity Ward has acknowledged the Modern Warfare file size, it seems the studio has now taken a more active approach.

Loading the game on the PS4, players will be greeted with instructions by the studio on how to reduce the Modern Warfare file size! Here’s what you’ll see upon booting up the game:

If you see it, you won’t miss it given the big “Reduce File Size” lettering. Here’s a step-by-step guide via Infinity Ward:

  1. From Main Menu, Select “Options”
  2. Select “General” tab
  3. Scroll down, slecet “Game Installs”
  4. Select DLC Packs to uninstall

As far as we’re aware, this is the first PS4 title to offer this kind of feature wherein you can shave off its file size by deleting specific portions of the game. Then again, I doubt there’s any title out on the platform that’s as big as Modern Warfare has been.

How have you dealt with Modern Warfare’s massive file size? Has this been a big enough factor that you considered uninstalling the game completely?

They could just stop forcing people to download the DLC map packs if they didn’t purchase them and it would cut down on the file size just fine. There is no point to forcing people to download them that might not have any interest in the MP…..

The DLC map packs are free and included in the updates. It would make sense though to be able to selectively install single player and multiplayer separetly (like it was before on Steam). I finished the campaign months ago and haven’t touched it since. But it still takes up probably ~50gbs on my HDD.
