Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was responsible for 19% of Comcast's traffic in the past week. It's also the first game in the series to be worth the huge download size in years.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has consumed my internet bandwidth for the past week. It is both a big game and a large download. Comcast says that this is also true for most of the US.

Comcast, the internet provider, recently released a statement (via The Verge), reporting that it had just experienced "the biggest week in Internet history". Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 accounted for 19% of the network traffic leading up to its release.

Comcast's total data is made up of nearly a third of data from Call of Duty and Thursday Night Football. This is a huge amount. The figures for the Call of Duty launch last year are not available, but it wasn't as big as Black Ops 6's.

Comcast's Xfinity plans only give 1.2 TB to users, so they have to decide how to spend their data on such a large release.

The game itself is more than 120 GB on Steam, but it can be even larger with additional packs and Call of Duty games released after launch. Comcast customers are choosing to play this game in mass, and many are choosing it over other data uses. This Comcast limit is for a monthly cap. I would have easily exceeded 1.2 TB this month, as I bought a brand new PC and decided I wanted to fit all the games I could onto my new SSD.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a game that I would recommend playing this year. It's the first time I've really enjoyed the game since COD HQ was introduced a few years back.

The file size issue has only gotten more serious since launch. Treyarch released Nuketown in response to complaints about maps and spawns. The game is still selling better than the previous Call of Duty despite being on Xbox Game Pass. This big launch should see more support throughout the year even if Comcast may limit the amount of games you can play each month.
