Welcome lone operative! This definitive guide contains everything you need to know about fully installing the latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare installment on your mighty PlayStation 5 console.
As an industry insider and content creator dedicated exclusively to all things COD, I‘ve got you covered – whether you‘re upgrading from PS4 or installing from scratch…
Step-by-Step Installation Walkthrough
Follow these essential steps to get Modern Warfare and Warzone 2.0 running smoothly on your PS5 with all modes and packs installed:
#1 – Free Up Enough Storage Space
Modern Warfare and Warzone 2.0 clocks in at a chunky 155-175 GB install size on PS5 depending on your region. So before installation, ensure you have adequate storage capacity:
| Installation Requirements | File Size |
|---|---|
| Base Game | 115 GB |
| Multiplayer Pack | 32 GB |
| Spec Ops Pack | 12 GB |
| Warzone 2.0 | 55GB |
| Total | 155-175 GB |
I recommend having at least 250 GB of free space to allow unfinished downloads/updates. Or you can expand with an approved PS5 internal SSD for more breathing room.
#2 – Download and Install All Game Packs
Once storage is sorted, here‘s how to download everything you need for the full Modern Warfare experience on PS5:
On your PS5 home screen, go to Game Library and select Your Collection.
Under Your Collection, find Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and select it.
On the game page, select the 3 dots icon next to the Play button and choose View Product.
On the product page, select Download or the download icon to install the packs below:
- Base Game (115GB)
- Multiplayer Pack (32GB)
- Special Ops Pack (12GB)
- Warzone 2.0 Pack (55GB)
- Wait for entire game + all packages to finish downloading/installing before playing! Time estimate: 1-5 hours depending on internet speeds.
Once the installation is complete, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is ready to deliver next-gen performance on your PS5!
#3 – Troubleshooting Tips
During download, you may encounter issues like installation stopped, missing packs or copies of the game not working properly on PS5.
Here are some quick troubleshooting tips:
- Restart your PS5 and check for corrupt data by going to Settings > Storage > Console Storage > Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
- If missing Multiplayer Packs, uninstall campaign/spec ops packs then reinstall. This often fixes it!
- Close Modern Warfare fully before installing new packs
- If facing download issues, check your internet connection speeds/stability
