Xbox One players complain about 66GB update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty Modern Warfare

The latest update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare requires a 66GB download for Xbox One players, far larger than the sizes of its PlayStation 4 and PC counterparts.

The update, which applies several general fixes that includes the removal of some maps from certain game modes, requires only a 1.2GB download for the PlayStation 4 and up to 1.83GB for the PC. Infinity Ward blames "an unforeseen bug" with Microsoft's patch delivery process for the bloated update file for the Xbox One.
