Modern Warfare And Warzone Update 1.29 Patch Notes - Private Matches Added To Warzone

Infinity Ward’s rolling out a patch for Warzone and Modern Warfare, which can now be pre-loaded or downloaded fully on your platform of choice. 

This update is coming on the week of the release of Black Ops Cold War, which is building up to be one of the best Call of Duty's in recent years.

Now, a new update is here and there is a lot to unpack.

Here are the patch notes!

Update 1.29 Patch Notes

This update has now made Warzone a fully independent game to Modern Warfare.

Overall file sizes are as follows:

• PlayStation 4: 33.2GB
• Xbox One: 33.2GB
• PC: 39.3GB

Infinity Ward has also optimised game files to reduce the overall size of the game by over 25GB.

Although it was appearing in the 'Message of the Day' that Cold War weapons would be added to Warzone on the 13th, expected to be part of this update, this is not the case. This was in fact an error.
