Even though Warzone 2.0 is part of Modern Warfare 2, you don’t need to purchase Modern Warfare 2 to download and play Warzone 2.0. The title is a free-to-play battle royale game, meaning you shouldn’t need to spend a cent on it. Pre-loads for the title went live on the night of November 14. Search for Warzone 2.0 on Steam, Battle.net, PlayStation Store, or Microsoft Store to start pre-downloading the game. If you already have Modern Warfare 2 bought and downloaded, then Warzone 2.0 should have already started pre-loading if your console or PC has the space.

Warzone 2.0 file sizes

Warzone 2.0 is a massive game and requires a lot of space to be downloaded on your consoles and PC. The download file size for the title on PC is an enormous 125 GB, while for the Xbox, the file size is 115.62 GB. The download file size for Warzone 2.0 on PS4 and PS5 will likely be the same as the Xbox, around 115 GB. Already those are big numbers, and the game may end up being bigger with a day-one update, so be thoughtful of that.
