Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare/Warzone Season 6 Pre-Load Available On PS4

Season 6 will soon begin in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the battle royale game Warzone, and it appears PlayStation owners will be able to pre-load it.

CharlieIntel noticed that the official PlayStation account tweeted (and then deleted) a message regarding pre-loading for the Season 6 update. The site reported that some people have already been able to pre-load the expansion, but the since-deleted tweet suggests that pre-loading should be available for everyone relatively soon, if it’s not already.

Update 1.27 adds Season 6 to Modern Warfare and Warzone, and the update is expected to be around 20 GB in size. According to CharlieIntel, pre-loading is being broken down into two waves on PS4–some people got it overnight on September 27 and others will receive the pre-load now. Pre-loading is not available on PC and Xbox One, the site said.
