Blipy Blops 4 has 50gb day 1 patch (sold early)

Some retail stores will be selling it a day early to accommodate for you having to sit for 4 hours.

Black Ops 4 Has a 50 GB Update If You’re Buying Physical

Call of Duty: Black Ops will require a 50 GB day one update on PS4 and Xbox One for those buying a physical copy of the game, Activision has shared.

The news comes from a post over on Activision’s installation and setup pages for Black Ops 4. Shared earlier today, the post outlines the expected installation size on both systems, as well as the required space needed to install the game and its day one update.

According to the post “players should have 112 GB of free hard drive space” in order to begin the install process of Black Ops 4 on PS4. However, the total install of the file will ultimately sit at 55 GB.

Meanwhile, Xbox One owners won’t seemingly require the same 112 GB of free hard drive space, but can still expect a 55 GB final install size on their system.

Most notably, however, is the size of the day one update. Weighing in at a pretty huge 50 GB, Black Ops 4’s day one update must be fully installed in order to play “the Multiplayer, Zombies, and Specialist Headquarters” elements of the game. The Blackout battle royale game mode will apparently be fully playable once 16-20 GB of the install is completed. Equating to roughly 30% completion.

For those buying the game digitally on either Xbox One or PS4, you’ll be looking at a total of 55 GB to download. Suggesting that the day one update has already been applied to the game files available to preload as of tomorrow on PS4.

Isn't it MP only, too?

The physical copies really have no benefits besides the touchy-feelies in this case.

Yes, no SP.

Same price. Of course.

Unless you want the post-release content, then it's $100.

The season pass will apparently be available as a stand-alone purchase "at a later date".

Gotta hand it to Activision. If I had to pick one word to describe their sales tactics, I guess it would be 'predatory'.

I get a superior version of Blops, takes zero HDD space, doesn't cost a penny, doesn't waste my time, called the "not buying it edition".

So the release date is really the next day, after it finally downloads.

I love gaming in 2018.

They don't put content on discs anymore. They just can't be bothered.

I don't really like Cod (came in here to rant lol) but this news is making me angry about the state of physical media. I'm still angry about Adobe and this creative cloud bull. Soon I will have like 30+ service subscriptions/accounts. When will it end?

I can't believe people still buy this stuff. No wonder the gaming industry has gone to shit. These aren't even games first and foremost. It's just interactive software meant to drain your wallet. I hope they start charging people that buy this stuff by the hour. They use to charge 50 cents for 5 minutes of game time at the arcades in the 90's. It might just happen again.

@Ghost120x: Your avatar is angry enough. don't need to be more angry.

Glad I've been done with that series for awhile, what a joke.

Lol, exactly.

But these day 1 patches are the bane of my existence. And it's only going to get worse I expect.

What do you mean? Everything you need to play the PC version will probably be right there on the disc

I’m convinced that developers are purposely trying to kill off physical media. They won’t just outright come out and do something like say they aren’t going to release a physical version of a game but they’ll keep increasing the annoyance factor until consumers just say, “**** it.” and go digital.

Well, to be fair, Nemesis would be making that face even if he were happy. Lol
