How to Fix Call of Duty: Warzone Not Installing on PS5

by

As a seasoned gamer with years of battling it out in the virtual world under my belt, I can empathize with fellow Warzone enthusiasts who find themselves at odds with their PlayStation 5 due to installation woes. The frustration is palpable when you’re eagerly anticipating the latest content drop only to be thwarted by technical difficulties.

In Call of Duty: Warzone, the seasonal and mid-season updates frequently bring a wealth of fresh content to discover and unlock. Unfortunately, for PlayStation 5 gamers, these updates may occasionally encounter problems with patch or update file issues that can hinder the game’s installation process.

If you’re unsure how to resolve these problems, they can significantly delay your access to the latest content. To help you get back into the action, here’s a step-by-step guide to fixing Warzone installation issues on PS5.

How to Install Call of Duty: Warzone on PS5

If you’re having trouble installing Call of Duty: Warzone on PS5, here’s what you’ll need to do:

  1. Head to the PlayStation Store.
  2. Open the search section and look for the Call of Duty app.
  3. Click the three-dotted button on the menu and select View Product.
  4. Click on the three-dotted button on the menu again and select Call of Duty: Warzone (BO6: Warzone Add-On).
  5. Once the menu opens, click the Download button, and the game will begin installing onto your PS5.

To ensure a smooth gaming experience on your PS5 after seasonal or mid-season updates for Call of Duty, it’s crucial to follow this specific installation method since these updates can occasionally lead to issues with the Call of Duty app, such as uninstalling Warzone entirely, failing to install the latest version correctly, or necessitating a complete game reinstall.

The root issue behind these problems is not fully understood due to the consolidation of the franchise under the Call of Duty app. With premium titles and Warzone functioning as add-ons on consoles, frequent updates to the application files can result in installation complications. Furthermore, when trying to install Warzone on PS5 through the game’s internal download section, the unified menu for the franchise (the Call of Duty HQ) frequently shows an error message saying “Content not found.

If the current solution doesn’t work (possibly because of multiple underlying problems), you might want to consider more extreme options. One possible action is to remove the previously installed “Warzone” file from the Manage Game Files menu by clicking the settings button on the “Call of Duty” app within your PS5 menu. Another strategy could be to uninstall and reinstall the entire game. However, these tactics usually don’t solve update file installation problems, as the game may not recognize or apply the most recent update. In such situations, the primary approach – typically a system update or contacting customer support – is often the best solution.
