While also providing you with a ton of fun this weekend, the Call of Duty: Vanguard PlayStation Alpha will provide our developers feedback on a global scale to help them tune and polish the game’s Multiplayer prior to its upcoming beta and launch. Similar to Alpha sessions in previous Call of Duty® games, Sledgehammer Games is giving players a vital role in Call of Duty: Vanguard ’s development by granting them access to a limited pre-release version of the game’s Multiplayer, a small slice of what is to come on November 5 th. Activision has claimed that players will be able to choose to manage storage space and reduce the game's overall file size during or after the pre-load (thanks AS.com), so it's possible that players will be given the chance to cut out unwanted elements of the games on all platforms.What Is the Call of Duty®: Vanguard PlayStation® Alpha?

We know at time of writing that players can download only the multiplayer and zombies components of the game for PC/ if they wish, for a reduced file size of 36GB.

However, it's worth mentioning that previous Call of Duty games have allowed players to download aspects of the game individually for a more economic downloading experience. The specific file sizes differ from platform to platform, and disregarding any day one patches, this is what players should expect:

Pre-loading for Call of Duty: Vanguard has been since November 2nd, and it's pretty necessary as Vanguard has the characteristic large file size of most modern games (though less than the historically bloated standard for Call of Duty, which is nice).
