How to download DMZ in Modern Warfare 4
There's no separate DMZ download — DMZ is part of Modern Warfare 4. Own the game on any platform (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Battle.net or Steam, Switch 2), install it, and DMZ is in the main menu. Expect roughly 80–120 GB depending on platform and content packs.
Steps to your first deployment
- Get the game — Standard ($69.99) includes full DMZ; see the editions comparison.
- Install and update — install from your platform store and let day-one updates apply; storage-wise, keep 120 GB free to be safe.
- Open DMZ — select DMZ from the main menu and queue solo, duo or trio.
- Pick a calm landing — start at a Low-threat area like Cheongun Village or Songdo Wharf to learn the loop.
- Extract — the run only counts if you get out. Learn the exfil options in our extraction guide.
