For years, players of large-scale shooters have complained about the massive install sizes that consume storage space.
Players often have to remove other games because Call of Duty install sizes go beyond 100 GB.
To solve the problem, EA now allows Battlefield 6 players to pick the content they want to install.
This approach cuts down on wasted storage while borrowing a trick Call of Duty has used for years.
How Does the Modular Install Work?
Battlefield 6 breaks its content into separate parts that players can install individually instead of downloading it all at once.
The install system allows players to keep just the campaign, multiplayer, or the detailed 4K textures. Those using standard monitors won’t need to waste dozens of gigabytes on textures they’ll never fully benefit from.
The PC version requires approximately 80 GB of space, which is less than what many AAA shooters typically require. This flexibility allows multiplayer-only fans to slim the installation down more.
According to testers at Battlefield Labs, players can install six different components: campaign, multiplayer, multiplayer markers, and three high-resolution texture packs tied to those features.
It also makes space for future additions, such as the battle royale mode that will arrive as a separate download.
What Makes This Such a Win for Players?
This shift is important because Battlefield 6 will launch against Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 later this year.
Storage has long been a problem for Call of Duty, with Black Ops 6 taking up 145 GB on some platforms.
EA capped Battlefield 6 at around 80 GB and gave players the option to cut it lower, which is a win for them.
It shows that the series is learning from the competition’s missteps while still trying to outdo them. For console owners, this is especially welcome.
Most systems only ship with 1 TB of storage, so having the option to remove a finished campaign or skip extras keeps things simple and player-friendly.
Even PC gamers with plenty of storage appreciate it because cutting tens of gigabytes allows room for new games.
