The SSD Requirement

Warzone is one of the games that most benefits from SSD installation. The game streams assets for a large map, and HDD users experience significant texture pop-in and longer loading screens. Warzone officially recommends an SSD.

Storage Bloat

Warzone is notorious for enormous file sizes (70–120 GB) due to uncompressed audio assets and multiple game versions. Activision has added tools to remove specific content packs you do not use.
