Despite suggestions that the ability to preload Warzone 2 on PlayStation should have been available by now, the application hasn’t shown up on the PSN store yet. If you own Modern Warfare 2, a small part of the download, around 5GB, will be downloaded automatically, but as the whole game is around 20X that size, it’s clearly not the full download.  We’ll update this story as soon as the update becomes available on PlayStation.

While Xbox does have the option to preload the Warzone 2 app, many players are reporting that it is instead downloading a 6GB file, which clearly isn’t the full game. However, if you’re lucky, the full download should begin. If you end up getting the smaller file, simply uninstall it and try again. What a very normal and functional system. We’ll update this story when this issue is fixed.

Modern Warfare 2’s first season of live content will launch alongside Warzone 2 on November 16 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT.
