Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players on PlayStation 5 started to make a frustrating mistake. Apparently, players who want to remove the game have found that they need to remove all data packets in the game first. If the step is not even done, players will not be able to download the data packs again. User Puzzled-Soup brought the issue to light on Reddit and said that the game claims that everything is installed, but that is not the case. After trying several possible solutions, Puzzled-Soup was able to discover the only solution to install the game on a PS4 and then transfer the storage data to PS5.
The original Reddit message can be found below.
If you remove Modern Warfare 2019 from the PS5 without manually removing all additional data packets in the game, you will not be able to reload it when reinstalling it from r / PS5.
It is impossible to say what is causing the problem, but the solution is not very elegant. Many gamers tend to get rid of their older consoles once they have bought a new one, so not every PS5 owner will have a PS4 on hand to store data. It remains to be seen whether Activision will figure out the problem, but it’s easy to see how frustrating it can be. In the responses to Puzzled-Soup’s post, a number of other Reddit posters shared similar issues, and one claims that they got rid of the game completely as a result.
Unfortunately, Call of Duty games have had noticeable problems on the next generation consoles since PS5 and Xbox Series X were launched in late 2020. Call from Duty: Black Ops Cold War players on Xbox Series X have experienced a number of issues with the game crashing. It’s not uncommon for developers to run into problems with the new video game hardware, and it’s clear that Activision is still figuring things out. Unfortunately, it does not help any of the fans who are forced to wait so long for corrections.
