How big is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6? Despite initial rumors that it would take up over 300GB, the actual Black Ops 6 file size thankfully comes in way under this number and is far more reasonable by modern game standards. You’ll still need an SSD rather than a traditional hard drive, but this is quite common in 2024.
The Black Ops 6 system requirements have been finalized following the closed beta for PC and details the file size alongside the type of storage you will need to get the best out of the game. While recent Call of Duty games have been rather chunky, Black Ops 6 is actually rather moderate with its storage demands compared to many other modern triple-A releases.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 file size
The Black Ops 6 file size on PC will be 102GB. This figure has been confirmed in the final system requirements ahead of the game’s release.
Despite rumors of a file size that would end up being twice that of Baldur’s Gate 3, meaning north of 300GB, the actual Black Ops 6 download size won’t be nearly as bad. You’ll need 102GB of SSD storage available at launch although future game updates could see this increase.
In my time testing the game to figure out the best Black Ops 6 settings for PC, it was clear that the game is well optimized, even during the beta phase. Performance on PC is great, and the issues that plagued past releases, such as random crashes at the start of matches and shader compilation failures, are now problems of the past.
The CoD Black Ops 6 release date is almost here, and while you wait you can read about how Corsair just bagged a new multi-year deal to produce official Call of Duty hardware for PC.
