Pre-load Modern Warfare & Warzone Season 6 update on PS4

Keshav Bhat

PlayStation is allowing users to pre-load Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 6 patch update ahead of its upcoming launch.

The new patch update is version 1.27. The update rolled out across PS4 platforms for all users overnight on September 27 and September 28 morning on their PlayStation 4 console.

The patch update is 20GB download, but players cannot install the update until September 28 at 11PM PT / September 29 at 2AM ET.

Here’s instructions for how to ensure you’re ready to pre-load the update, if you were not already given the update, or are awaiting the update to reach your console:

If you have Automatic Downloads enabled on your PlayStation 4, your pre-download will begin automatically as long as your PlayStation 4 is turned on or in Rest Mode. Please note: Automatic Downloads is only available with PlayStation Plus.

If you have Automatic Downloads disabled, or your PlayStation 4 was turned off, follow these steps to manually initiate the pre-download:

  1. Highlight the Modern Warfare or Warzone tile on the PlayStation 4 homescreen.
  2. Press the Options button.
  3. Select Check for Updates.

This is the the second time Sony is allowing such a thing for a patch update on their platform. This option was available for the Season 5 update on PlayStation, which released in early August.

This pre-load is only for PS4 users. Pre-load is not available on Xbox One or PC.
