Call of Duty: How to Manage Installed Content and Texture Streaming

Use Call of Duty’s own content manager

Activision recommends using the content manager inside Call of Duty when removing full games or game modes. Removing content through the platform’s own manager may manage files individually and produce a different experience. Start with the launcher’s in-game manager when following this workflow. [1]

Steps

1. Launch Call of Duty on your PC and open Menu > Manage Files. [1]
2. Choose the relevant content tile and use its available Manage Files, Uninstall or Install action. Select the action for the game content you intend to change. [1]

Choose the texture-streaming option

The support article calls the setting On-Demand High-Quality Streaming. Its two choices trade graphical fidelity against internet bandwidth use. The described streaming cache helps reduce how much content must be downloaded directly into device storage. [1]

Steps

1. From the documented Menu > Manage Files route, select Graphics and scroll to On-Demand High-Quality Streaming. [1]
2. Choose Optimized for higher graphical fidelity with more bandwidth use, or Minimal for reduced graphical quality and lower bandwidth use. [1]

Keep installation changes separate from a purchased entitlement

The file manager controls which available content is installed. Activision’s separate Black Ops 7 known-issues page gives account and device-limit checks for a PC Game Pass purchase-required message. If that is the message you see, use that matching support path rather than assuming a content-tile selection alone restores access. [1] [2]
