Finally, our prayers for a quality FPS have been answered: the release date for CoD Warzone is here, which means we have a free-to-play Call of Duty battle royale mode.

There's been a lot of information about this over the past couple of weeks and we were prepared for it to happen soon, but we never thought it would be free to play.

This early information included a brief overview cards Code: Warzone , which we now know as the colossal wilderness of Verdyansk, with over 300 interesting objects to explore and die nearby. We also know that there will be two different modes (Battle Royale and the more aggressive, loot-focused Plunder), we will play trios, there will be vehicles and more.

But, most importantly, it's free. For everybody! This means that, unlike last year's Blackout mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, even those who don't own the game can get into the party. They'll just have to wait a little longer and take on that massive CoD: Warzone download volume. Either way, here's how to download it, and Warzone release times for your region.

CoD: Warzone download: How to start playing?

If you already have the game, it will be nice and simple. If you've updated your Battle.net game with the latest patch, expect another 18-22GB of additional data to appear on your C drive, but it could be as high as 80GB if you haven't. Remember that mysterious "Classified" screen in the main menu? After the download is complete, you will be able to travel to Verdansk.

However, if you don't own the game, you have a few small steps to take and a lot more games to download - 83-101GB to be exact. Go to Battle.net on PC and search for "Warzone" to find a free client when the game goes live (more on that below).

It's also worth noting that the Call of Duty: Warzone download is segmented, so your computer will download the first 20GB first. Then you can fight in a firefight with bots to keep warm. As soon as the next segment is loaded, you will be ready for it.

CoD: Warzone release times for each region

First things first, the release date for CoD: Warzone is 10 March 2020 year . However, when you receive the game depends on whether you are the owner of the game or not: game owners get early access four hours before the global rollout. In other words, existing Modern Warfare players on the US West Coast can start downloading at 8am, but the rest of that region has to wait until noon.

You can see the global launch in the diagram above; just subtract four hours for your region if you have the game. So here is the release time for Call of Duty: Warzone for Russia, US, UK and Europe for existing players:
