Coming off the back of news about Red Dead Redemption 2's massive file size of 105GB, it has been revealed that Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will also cost you triple digit memory space.

That's right Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will require 100GB of space, at least on the PlayStation 4.

The news comes way of CharlieIntel, who took to Twitter to post an image featuring the back-side of the game's cover, which mentions the space requirement.

While Red Dead Redemption 2 makes 100GB seem like an average amount, it's not. A 100GB requirement is far from the rule, and in terms of game file size, it doesn't get much bigger.

It's important to note that the cover is for the PlayStation 4 version of the game, or in other words, who knows how much memory other versions of the game -- like the Xbox One version -- will require. Usually, file sizes are pretty consistent across different platforms though.

When you consider that the launch PlayStation 4 only shipped with 500GB of space, 100GB is pretty inconvenient. That's literally 1/5th the available space. If you have a 1TB PlayStation 4 (or more) then this likely won't be too much of an inconvenience, but no matter how much space you have, you won't be able to escape a longer than usual download.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is poised to release on October 12 via the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. At the moment, there's no word of a Nintendo Switch version, though given that the series has appeared on Nintendo platforms in the past, there remains a chance it will -- if it can -- come to the Nintendo hybrid console.
