Get ready for more than 100GB of downloads.
Activision has effectively shipped a dummy disc, meaning physical copies ofwill always have to connect up to the internet to get a copy of the game. It’s a process that has seen widespread criticism in the past, particularly because it can hinder game preservation, force firmware updates, and overall, push owners toward DRM versions of games that might not work properly years in the future.
Thankfully, the vast majority of game discs, particularly on PlayStation, ship with the full game. It’s still rare to see dummy discs like this, but it’s incredibly disappointing since you’re forced to download the game entirely. That’s a problem if you live in a country with strict data caps or even markets where download speeds are slow.
