This isn’t the first time this has happened either, the broadband giant saw its previous biggest download day on Warzone’s Season 2 launch day back in February. Other leading providers saw a rise in their downloads due to the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S launch back in November of last year.

It was also noted before the update took place that this update would significantly reduce Warzone’s file size. Activision had announced that the update should cut as much as 33.6GB from the file size depending on the users platform.
