Interestingly, the storage space sizes are listed as Call of Duty: Warzone is notorious for hideously huge installation sizes. 36 GB being the minimum shouldn’t eat up too much space on your PC’s hard drive, at least.
Call of Duty: Vanguard comes out Nov. 2 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It’ll sport the new Ricochet anti-cheat system that’s going to hopefully do away with cheaters that have plagued Call of Duty for ages. It’ll have some nifty adaptive trigger support on PS5 if you happen to be playing on that platform too.
