I suggest clearing out your storage, as Call of Duty seasonal drops typically range from 30GB to 50GB. It may even be higher if Black Ops 6 Zombies content is included in the file. But players who only play Warzone don’t need to download patches exclusive to BO6, given that the files are separated.

Pre-load patches will be available to prepare you for the Season 3 launch. While Battle.net users generally get to download it a few days early, console players may have to wait until the day of or the night before.
