Below, we’ll list the Modern Warfare 2 release time for PC and consoles, as well as when you can preload the full game on each platform.

Modern Warfare 2 preload times and download size
You can preload Modern Warfare 2 right now on every platform. Preloads went live last week on consoles, and at the following times on PC:
West Coast US: Wednesday, October 26, 10am PDT East Coast US: Wednesday, October 26, 1pm EDT Brazil: Wednesday, October 26, 2pm BRT UK: Wednesday, October 26, 6pm BST Europe: Wednesday, October 26, 7pm CEST South Korea: Thursday, October 27, 2am KST Australia: Thursday, October 27, 4am AEDT
The official PC system requirements state that Modern Warfare 2 will require 72GB of storage space at launch. However, the download size seems to vary between platforms, with those on consoles seeing downloads between 60 and 70GB. The Modern Warfare 2 download will not include Warzone 2, which will be a separate install. This is a huge change from Modern Warfare 2019, which Warzone players were forced to install alongside the popular battle royale. That wraps up everything we know about the Modern Warfare 2 release time. You can prepare for launch now with our Modern Warfare 2 M4 loadout and MP5 loadout guides.
