Today's Season 4 Reloaded update brought 200 player battle royale matches to Call of Duty: Warzone, new maps and modes to Modern Warfare, and new weapons and Operators to both.

It also increased the game's install size above 200 GB.

When the update was first teased, focusing on the 200 player battle royale mode, many fans made jokes under the original Tweet about how the 200 would actually mean the amount of gigabytes of space the update will consume. I'm sure they're all wishing they had kept their prophetic mouths shut right about now.

Note that these reported sizes are from players who own Modern Warfare, and have both games installed simultaneously. F2P Warzone players are reporting an install size of slightly over 100 GB. The update's download size was around the 30 GB mark, however it shouldn't have added that much to the install size due to Infinity Ward's compression efforts.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone have been struggling with huge storage requirements since the very beginning, and the developers have begun trying to address this with the last patch, which replaced many assets with compressed versions to keep file sizes in check.
