Major Frustrations: Players Struggling with Massive Download Sizes
Players are expressing frustration over the enormous file size of Call of Duty on Xbox Series X, especially after the latest update. Many are reporting that the game now forces users to download everything without the option to manage files, creating headaches for those with limited storage.
What’s the Problem?
The issue exploded on forums, with one poster revealing, "It doesn’t allow me to uninstall the files." This change appears to have originated after a recent update, leading to widespread complaints about the inability to control what gets downloaded. With file sizes reaching over 400 GB, it’s no wonder players want solutions.
Users Sound Off
Common themes from player comments include:
Storage Constraints: Many players are frustrated that Call of Duty takes up so much space. They argue that it’s excessive for a single game.
Lack of Options: Gamers feel trapped, as they can only uninstall certain add-ons. One user stated, "The problem is it doesn’t let me pick anything but Warzone."
Support Ineffectiveness: Many have tried reaching out for support but feel ignored, as frustration grows with multiple emails yielding no solutions.
"Fr like 400G for a f***ing game is insane," expressed one gamer.
Curiously, past updates have had similar issues, with players recalling instances where the game became bloated without clear reasons. While some manage by canceling updates, this isn't ideal for everyone.
