Modern Warfare 3 Campaign Preload Times and Download Size

Prepare your storage and circle the date!

Modern Warfare 3 is just on the horizon with its release date of Nov. 10, but Activision has sought to bless us with an early access campaign that begins on Nov. 2. Many players are rightfully wondering what the Modern Warfare 3 Campaign preload times and download size are, and we have the answer.

MW 3 Campaign Preload Times and Download Size

According to the Call of Duty blog, Campaign Early Access preloads for all platforms will begin on Nov. 1, 2023, at 10 a.m. PT/ 1 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. BST/ 2 a.m. JST/ 6 p.m. CEST. Then, you can expect a full game preload on Nov. 8 around the same timeframe.

As for download sizes, you can anticipate the following content:

  • PlayStation: The Download Size is split in two packs. The first Campaign pack is 18GB and the second is 33GB for a total size of 51GB.
  • PC: MW3 is expected to have an 89 GB download size for PC with a minimum/recommended space of 149 GB. If you already have COD HQ and Warzone downloaded, then it shrinks down to 79 GB.

Sadly, we aren’t able to even estimate something as simple as the download size as historically, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC all have different sizes due to hardware differences.

Those who have preordered the game will gain Campaign Early Access, allowing them to preload on the first of November. PlayStation, Xbox, and PC users will then be able to play the installment the next day around the same time preloads are active.

On the other hand, if you haven’t preordered Modern Warfare 3, you can still preload the game on Nov. 8 to get ready for its full launch the following day. Once its full release begins, multiplayer and Zombie modes will be available to play, along with the Campaign.

That’s all we have on the Modern Warfare 3 Campaign preload times and download size. Check out all the related Call of Duty news and updates below to keep yourself in the loop, including a Campaign Missions list.
