Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Preload Times and File Sizes Revealed

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 preload details and file sizes have surfaced, giving players an early idea of how much space they’ll need to clear before launch.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Preload Details Leak, File Sizes Surprisingly Manageable

According to well-known dataminer PlayStation Game Size, preloading for Black Ops 7 will begin on November 9 at 10 AM PT, a full five days before the game’s official release later in the month.

For those of us juggling multiple titles on limited storage, the reported file sizes are surprisingly manageable. On PlayStation 4, the co-op campaign clocks in at 11.9 GB, multiplayer at 11.6 GB, and Zombies at just 320 MB. 

If these numbers carry over to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, it could be a welcome relief compared to the storage-hogging installs we’ve seen in past CoD entries. Of course, these details are subject to change, but PlayStation Game Size has a strong track record of accuracy.

Here’s a quick breakdown of preload times across regions:

• Pacific Time (PT): 10 AM – November 9

• Central Time (CT): 12 PM – November 9

• Eastern Time (ET): 1 PM – November 9

• Greenwich Mean Time (GMT): 6 PM – November 9

• Central European Time (CET): 7 PM – November 9

• India Standard Time (IST): 11:30 PM – November 9

• Japan Standard Time (JST): 3 AM – November 10

• Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST): 5 AM – November 10

• New Zealand Standard Time (NZST): 7 AM – November 10

There’s also been chatter about whether the campaign and Zombies mode could unlock earlier than expected. Some files reportedly listed a November 10 release instead of November 14. However, as per Insider Gaming, there’s no indication that Activision plans to split the campaign from multiplayer this year. PlayStation Game Size also suggested the discrepancy might simply be a PSN error.
