Call of Duty: Vanguard PlayStation and Xbox File Sizes
Activision has said that players will be able to “manage storage space” to reduce theCall of Duty: Vanguardfile size as well, though it’s unclear exactly what this means. It’s possible thatCall of Dutyplayers will be able to pick and choose exactly what they have installed. PreviousCall of Dutygames allowed players to uninstall campaign if they were only interested in multiplayer, for example. So maybe ifCall of Duty: VanguardZombiesisn’t of interest to players, they can drop it to make some more space on their hard drives, though more specific details are unavailable at the time of this writing.
What’s been left out of the equation so far is theCall of Duty: VanguardPC port, which is still light on details. Activision has promised that more information on theCall of Duty: VanguardPC minimum and recommended specswill come “soon,” but didn’t specify when. Meanwhile, those who want to repload the PC version ofCall of Duty: Vanguardwill be able to do so starting November 2.
Of course, preloadingCall of Duty: Vanguardrequires one to pre-order the game, and so they would need to do that before launch.
