Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 update size - How big is the download?

The Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 update size may put some off, as previous Call of Duty updates have been pretty huge. Unfortunately, to stay on top of the more competitive scene, you have to get in there early to learn what is new. You may want to know exactly how much space you need for it.

In this, we go over everything we know about the Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 update size and what we can expect to arrive alongside it. If you can't wait to get in on launch day, this should inform you about everything new.

Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 update size

As of right now, we've got intel on the update size for PlayStation users thanks to Activision's exclusivity deal with Sony. Here's a closer look at how much hard drive space you'll need:

• PlayStation 4 - 20.9GB
• PlayStation 5 - 18.3GB
• Xbox - 35.4GB
• PC - 37 GB

For those on Xbox and PC, you'll have to wait a little longer before finding out the update size for the game. Usually, it's slightly larger than the PlayStation update so we expect it to come in at anywhere between 25 and 40GB. As soon as we hear more, we''ll update the guide with the latest information.

When does Modern Warfare 2 Season 3 start?

If you're looking to play it at launch, the next update arrives at 10 AM PT / 6 PM BST on April 12th.

With the next update, Gunfight is coming with four maps, including the map used for Warzone 2's Gulag. As well as this, Shipment is arriving. There are three new 6v6 maps coming to the game too, as well as new battle maps for Ground War and Invasion.

Finally, new special ops missions are arriving later on in the season so this update will make room for that new piece of content.
