A new update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the battle royale game Warzone is coming very soon, and it sounds like it will make some welcome changes. [Update: the patch is now live, and you can see the patch notes below]

Starting off, the update shrinks the file size of Modern Warfare and Warzone by around 25GB on each platform, Infinity Ward’s Paul Haile said on Twitter. Players will be able to download high-resolution textures, but these will be optional. And on PC, a new option is being added that gives you the ability to stream high-resolution assets dynamically, Haile said.

In addition to these changes, the update for Modern Warfare and Warzone includes the first upgrades for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Haile did not share any details on these improvements, however, but this should all become clear very soon.

The full patch notes are available now, and they also mention various bug fixes across modes. Additionally, a new Private Warzone mode is now available in beta. Players can invite friends for a private Warzone experience across battle royale, plunder, and mini royale. You can see the full patch notes down below, as shared by Infinity Ward on their website.

Due to their popularity, Modern Warfare and Warzone will continue to receive new updates when Black Ops Cold War launches on November 13. In fact, the games will become more closely connected than ever before, as there will be “synchronized” XP and leveling across each game, so progress you make in one title applies to the others.

For more on that, you can check out GameSpot’s interview with Black Ops Cold War lead designer Tony Flame.
