Comcast writes that it recorded its biggest week in internet history with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's pre-launch. It accounted for 19% of total network traffic last week, the fifth highest internet traffic event in Comcast network history. Availability of the download and the Thursday Night Football streams accounted for 26 percent of total network traffic.

Black Ops follows in the tradition of other Call of Duty titles in requiring a hefty chunk of your storage space. PlayStation owners need 84.40 GB free to install it, while the game takes up 85.6 GB on Xbox. On PC, you need at least 102 GB free on your SSD to install Black Ops 6 – a number that can inflate to almost 300 GB if you choose to also download Modern Warfare II and III and all the content and language packs.
