[UPDATE]
The Call of Duty developers are recommending to have 175GB of free hard drive space in order to accommodate all the game's upcoming DLC, but the initial download won't be quite that high as confirmed today.
[ORIGINAL STORY]
The PC system requirements for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare have been revealed, and they’re surprisingly reasonable. The recommended requirements are an Intel Core i5 and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970/GTX 1660 or AMD Radeon R9 390/RX 580 and it’s possible to run the game with an Intel Core i3 and a GeForce GTX 670 or Radeon HD 7950. Pull out your old laptop and give the game a spin! But make sure you have plenty of space on your hard drive because Modern Warfare is pretty demanding in one specific area – the game is an eye-watering 175GB download. Dang.
Here are your full Call of Duty: Modern Warfare PC system requirements:

It’s hard to imagine why Call of Duty: Modern Warfare would have to be quite so huge – it’s 25GB bigger than massive open-world game Red Dead Redemption 2 – but I guess Infinity Ward is pouring some serious detail into the game’s stages and cutscenes. I suppose we need to start getting used to these kind of file sizes as the next generation of gaming approaches.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare storms onto PC, Xbox One, and PS4 on October 25. You can get more details about the game’s Spec Ops co-op mode here, and check out a launch trailer, right here.
