Call of Duty: Ghosts PC install is 50GB

4.4
Call of Duty: Ghosts will take up a whopping 50GB of drive space when installed on your PC, blocking installation of other games by the sheer weight of its many assets.

For comparison purposes, BioShock Infinite takes up 20GB minimum with 30GB recommended, Saints Row 4 is 10GB, and Battlefield 4 wants 30GB.

The hefty install size was revealed in the shooter’s PC requirements, which also include a surprisingly high-end minimum GPU. Here’s the full spec list, courtesy of Nvidia:

Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows 7 64-Bit / Windows 8 64-Bit
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 2.66 GHZ / AMD Phenom X3 8750 2.4 GHZ or better
RAM: 6 GB RAM
HDD: 50 GB HD space
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti / ATI Radeon HD 5870 or better
Sound: DirectX Compatible Sound Card
DirectX: 11
Internet: Broadband connection and service required for Multiplayer Connectivity. Internet connection required for activation.

No word yet on how large the download will be for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One versions, but it’s likely to be in the same ballpark. Ghosts is also coming to Wii U. Current-gen versions arrive on November 5, with next-gen versions due when the hardware launches later in the month.

SliceFX That's ridiculous. Battlefield 4 will walk all over COD regarding graphics, map size and pretty much everything else. I honestly can't see why 50GB is recommended, unless there going to be milking the DLC money more than ever...


I think fb will do better than cod on PC

I know they said they are going to focus a lot of the development time for PC but still... 50 GB is a lot for any game no matter how good the graphics, details,etc are

daRealRush 50GB of Space! How is it 50GB of Space, it is a very small game. It has very few guns, along with very small maps! How is it, 50GB of space?


How do you know the maps are small and it doesnt have a lot of guns? Do you actually understand ANY game development/computer science theory?


Actually he's right, and your wrong. Stop trying to sound smart as there is no "theory." I know the reason its 50GB's, but I'm not going to say it just so you can pretend to know what your talking about. Find out, then come back to talk bro.


There is no theory? Does that even make sense.

This is no different to what happens every ten or so years. Games get a bit too big for natural storage, requiring more disks/bigger hardrives. Luckily, memory storage advances at a faster rate than the need to have it .

Theories such as pre-DLC would explain it, however that'd be a stupid idea. COD ghosts will probably try and outplay BF4 graphically this time around, and if you don't understand how big 4k-resolution textures are - you're a retard.

Don't pretend to be someone you're not, or know something you dont.

ZENU96 It took me 14 hours to download crysis 2 (13GB) now i could imagine how long it would take to download ghosts.


Wow that's a lot of hours for such an old game.


I agree 50GB is a whopping figure and many will have to wait for a while but it may be worth it if they have optimized the whole game for the PC version.

I have reason to suspect that all DLC is preloaded and you pay to 'unlock' it. Because, truly. There is no reason for it to be 50 gigs unless they did some major optimization for PC. Which if that is the case, bravo. But I highly doubt it.


I'm pretty sure I read that it is using 4k resolution, which would explain the massive size.
