The New Call Of Duty Will Devour Your Console’s Hard Drive

You remember how it seemed staggering that Gears of War 4 was going to consume up to 80GB of hard drive space? Well it’s time to move over, because Call of Duty wants a word with your hard drive.

A French version of the Infinite Warfare retail box has surfaced online. That in and of itself isn’t much of a surprise — the game is due out in less than a month, after all. But what’s staggering is the required file size, with the back of the box saying that a minimum of 130GB is required if you want to have both Modern Warfare Remastered and Infinite Warfare installed:

It’s worth noting that you can get around this slightly if you buy the digital version of Infinite Warfare. You don’t need to have Infinite Warfare installed to run MW Remastered, but if you’re buying at retail you will need to have the disc inserted to get the game to run. (A measure to prevent people from returning the game and playing the remaster for free, I’d venture.)

Still … 130GB. And it’s worth remembering that come the end of the year, another 6 maps are due out for MW Remastered. So … yeah. Anyone for a 2TB upgrade for their console? Anyone? Activision were also contacted for comment, but did not respond by the time of publication.
