Activision is finally addressing some of the Call of Duty community’s largest complaints in the form of several updates rolling out this Fall.
Activision has announced several big changes coming to Call of Duty’s HQ app, namely to its UI and the out-of-control file sizes that have been at the top of players’ complaint lists for years. This is all set to happen during the lead-up to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, a direct sequel to Black Ops Cold War and Black Ops 2 set in the early 90s surrounding the events of the Gulf War.
Ever since the initial launch of Call of Duty: Warzone in 2020, file sizes of each annual Call of Duty title have continued to balloon year over year. Last year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 took up an eye-watering 240 GB of space for PlayStation 5 users. The introduction of the Call of Duty HQ, the all-in-one app containing Warzone and each recent annual Call of Duty game, was riddled with controversy around its launch, with many players unhappy with its bloated UI.
In a new Activision blog post, Call of Duty has unveiled its plans to cut back on file sizes and rework the HQ’s UI, which has been the source of many players’ frustration over the past several years.
