As anticipation builds for the upcoming release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Activision has unveiled the system requirements for the PC version, providing gamers with a clear understanding of what hardware they will need to enjoy the game. The requirements are refreshingly accessible, ensuring that players won’t need to invest in the latest technology to dive into this year’s installment, which aligns closely with the specifications set forth for 2023’s Modern Warfare 3.
Black Ops 6 system requirements
Minimum specs
- Operating System: Windows 10 64 Bit (latest update)
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 / GTX 1650 or AMD Radeon RX 470
- Storage: SSD with 149GB available space at launch (78GB if COD HQ and Warzone are already installed)
- Processor: Intel Core i5-6600 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400
- Memory: 8GB RAM

Recommended specs
- Operating System: Windows 10 64 Bit (latest update) or Windows 11 64 Bit (latest update)
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080Ti / RTX 3060 or AMD Radeon RX 6600XT, or Intel Arc A770
- Storage: SSD with 149GB available space at launch (78GB if COD HQ and Warzone are already installed)
- Processor: Intel Core i7-6700K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X

The minimum specifications are quite approachable, featuring components that many gamers may already possess. The most notable requirement is the necessity for an SSD, as the game will occupy a substantial 149GB at launch. However, for those who have previously installed Call of Duty HQ and Warzone, the space requirement is reduced to 78GB, making it easier for players to accommodate the new title.
On the other hand, the recommended specifications suggest a slight upgrade in hardware, particularly in terms of CPU and RAM. While the graphics cards listed are not the latest models, they remain capable of delivering a solid gaming experience. Players aiming for a high-fidelity experience at 4K resolution and maximum settings will likely need to invest in more advanced hardware, reminiscent of the requirements for last year’s Modern Warfare 3.
As the excitement for Black Ops 6 continues to mount, players can look forward to the upcoming beta. The early-access version will be available starting August 30 for all platforms, but access will be limited to those with specific Game Pass tiers or those who pre-order the game. An open beta is set to commence on September 6, leading up to the full launch on October 25, offering gamers a chance to immerse themselves in the action before the official release.
