With the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 only days away, fans have learned the file sizes for the game on PS5 and PC. Call of Duty games typically require players to have a lot of free space on their machines to download, and Black Ops 7 will continue that trend thanks to its massive file size.

This fall has been an exciting time for first-person shooter fans, as two of the biggest franchises on the market are set to go head-to-head. EA released Battlefield 6 on October 10, bringing the first new installment in the Battlefield series since 2021. Now, Activision is poised to offer its next blockbuster shooter in Black Ops 7 on November 14. While it is unclear which FPS will ultimately sell the most copies, both will be among the most popular games of the year. As a result, many gamers are curious about how much free space they will need to allocate on their machines.

It is worth noting that Black Ops 7 needs a minimum of 116GB on PC at launch. Currently, the download size on Xbox Series consoles is unclear. However, it will likely be similar to other platforms, meaning players should make sure they have ample space available ahead of time.

Interestingly, these reported file sizes for Black Ops 7 mean it is significantly larger than the latest Battlefield installment. While the file size of Battlefield 6 varies depending on the platform, a full installation was around 75GB on PC at launch. It is worth pointing out that the file size for Black Ops 7 could be adjusted in the future. Activision has reduced the size of the Call of Duty HQ app in the past.

While the file size for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is huge, the game does come with a lot of content. Activision recently confirmed the list of multiplayer maps and modes for launch, offering many options for players. Additionally, the publisher recently revealed every Operator coming to Black Ops 7 at launch, with some available at the outset and others that need to be unlocked.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Treyarch and Raven Software are bringing players the most mind-bending Black Ops ever.

The year is 2035 and the world is on the brink of chaos, ravaged by violent conflict and psychological warfare. David Mason leads an elite JSOC team on a covert mission to the sprawling Mediterranean city of Avalon. While there, they discover a sophisticated plot that won’t just plunge the world into chaos, it will pull them into their own haunting pasts.

Squad up or go solo in an innovative Co-Op Campaign that redefines the Black Ops experience. Take on high-stakes challenges across a wide spectrum of environments, from the neon-lit rooftops of Japan to the Mediterranean coast, and even into the deepest corners of the human psyche.

Multiplayer explodes out of the gate with 16 electrifying 6v6 maps and two 20v20 maps at launch. From futuristic Tokyo vistas to the frozen, unforgiving wilds of Alaska, every environment is brimming with danger and opportunity. Master a cutting-edge arsenal and outmaneuver your enemies with an evolved Omnimovement system.

In Treyarch’s legendary Round-Based Zombies mode, the nightmare begins where reality ends. Trapped in the heart of the Dark Aether, the crew is thrust into a vast, ever-shifting hellscape. This isn’t just survival. It’s a descent into madness.
