CoD: Black Ops 6 PC System Requirements Are Surprisingly Modest

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will soon be playable, and before it gets into players' hands, Activision has revealed the system requirements for the PC version. Whether you're looking to target the minimum specs or hoping to hit the recommended ones, you won't need a cutting-edge machine to play this year's CoD game--in fact, you're not being asked for anything more than with 2023's Modern Warfare 3.

In terms of minimum specs, the game only calls for an Intel Core i5-6600 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400, 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960/1650 or AMD Radeon RX 470. These are years-old GPUs, so if you're someone who routinely plays PC games, it's not a leap to assume you'll check these boxes. The most stringent requirement for some might be the need to have an SSD, where the game will take up 149GB at launch--though you'll only need 78GB free if you already have CoD HQ and Warzone installed.

On the recommended-specs side, the storage requirements remain the same, but the CPUs called for move up to an i7-6700K or Ryzen 5 1600X paired with 16GB of RAM. The GPUs still aren't the most recent set, as Activision calls for a GTX 1080Ti/RTX 3060, RX 6600XT, or Intel Arc A770.
