Update: Activision has confirmed the 130GB install size for both games with an entry in the Modern Warfare Remastered FAQ.
"The estimated storage space required for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered (Legacy, Digital Deluxe, or Legacy Pro) is a combined 130 GB. This is a high-end estimate, which includes both games, any Day 1 updates, as well as the additional Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered multiplayer maps to be released before Dec. 31, 2016."
Even if the combined size is a high-end estimate, it's still going to occupy a huge amount of hard disk space.
Original story: A leaked image of the PS4 box for Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Legacy Edition has revealed the enormous hard disk space required to install the game along with Modern Warfare Remastered.
The pair of games tally up to 130GB, an incredible sum which for many gamers will occupy more than 25% of their hard disk space. The image made its way on to le internetz via a tweet from charlieINTEL.
As Eurogamer points out, if Modern Warfare Remastered is roughly the same size as the Campaign Early Access version available for download on PS4, then that places it at around 40GB. This means that Infinite Warfare is occupying a colossal 90GB of space on its lonesome.
Sometimes large install sizes simply can't be helped, but if this pattern is to be repeated with other AAA titles, gamers will soon find themselves squeezed for space. In this context it's easy to understand why the 2TB editions of the Xbox One S have proven so popular.
Fear not, however, for it is possible to upgrade the hard drive of your PS4 manually.
We're fairly sure tearing open the console's casing will invalidate any warranty, but if you're the proud owner of a 2013 edition, then that's likely gone out of the window anyway as they generally last for 12 months.
Infinite Warfare is due for release on November 4, and will be fighting for breathing room this Christmas against Battlefield 1.
