MW3 MULTIPLAYER & ZOMBIE FILE SIZES (TBD)

According to Playstation Size, the file size of the MW3 Multiplayer datapack is around 18.5GB on PS4. The size should be in the same ballpark for PS5 and other platforms, but expect further updates soon. Zombie datapacks for Cold War and Vanguard ranged from 4GB to 7GB. With how grand MW3 Zombies is in scale, expect a slightly larger download for the open world experience.
