Warzone's footprint is famously large and moves constantly, so treat every figure as approximate. It installs through the shared Call of Duty app (Battle.net or Steam on PC, the console store on PS5 and Xbox), which lets you install Warzone on its own or stacked next to premium titles like Black Ops 6 and Modern Warfare III. Standalone, the free battle royale is comparatively lean - roughly 23 GB on PS5 after a major September 2025 storage optimization that cut the console app's base from about 126 GB to around 25 GB. PC and Xbox saw similar reductions, though exact standalone sizes vary by region and by which language and high-resolution texture packs you install. The real size balloon comes from stacking content: keeping Warzone plus Black Ops 6 multiplayer and Zombies can exceed 200 GB. Every seasonal update also adds several to tens of GB, so expect the number to drift upward between optimizations. An SSD is required. To check or trim your install, open the Call of Duty app or your console's storage manager and remove content packs - extra languages, campaign, or modes you do not play - to reclaim space.
