Xbox One users with early access to the system have revealed the install sizes for much of the console's launch line-up.

Call of Duty: Ghosts on the Xbox One games store.

A small number of customers recieved their consoles last week due to a shipping error by US retailer Target. Microsoft has since blocked the consoles from Xbox Live until launch.

Moonlightswami, a user publicly identified by Microsoft as being one of the lucky few, has been posting information and screenshots from the system online (thanks, NeoGAF).

The largest download sizes come from titles such as Battlefield 4 (33GB) and Call of Duty: Ghosts (39GB). Ryse is 34GB while Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is 20GB.

All Xbox One games must be installed to your hard drive in order to run, although you can often begin playing after reaching a certain point in the installation progress.

Call of Duty: Ghosts reportedly takes around 10 minutes to install 51 per cent of the game, after which point you are then able to play.

The smallest install sizes belong to Killer Instinct (3.4GB), Zoo Tycoon (2.6GB) and Xbox Fitness (a tiny 246MB).
