Modern Warfare needs 175 GB of hard drive space on PC

The specifications have been unveiled, and it's joined Red Dead Redemption 2 in the list of games that need a large chunk of space.

For the longest time Call of Duty was seen as purely a console gaming franchise, especially with the esports scene focusing on PS4, but the PC market has become more and more important to Activision Blizzard, which is why a greater push has been made on these players with the upcoming Modern Warfare.
