The newly revealed PC requirements for Black Ops 6 reveal that the game should be able to run on a variety of aging and newer hardware with Windows 10 or 11. Minimum PC requirements for the game confirm that it will be able to run on a Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-6600 CPU when paired with 8 GB of RAM, an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or a similar performing GPU with 2 GB of video memory, and an SSD with at least 102 GB of available storage space, which is less space than what was listed on leaked Black Ops 6 retail copies. Recommended and competitive/4K Ultra requirements demand more capable hardware, such as second generation Ryzen CPUs and RDNA2 GPUs like the RX 6800 XT. Gamers with AMD or Intel CPUs from recent years and a current generation GPU like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 should be able to play Black Ops 6 comfortably at 1440p and 4K. Regardless of specs, the game requires an internet connection and DirectX12.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 PC Requirements

Black Ops 6 will launch on Thursday, October 24 at 9:00 PM PT, or Friday, October 25 at 12:00 AM ET, on PC via Battle.net and Steam. Activision also released a new PC launch map to reveal the times across various different regions. In preparation for the game's launch later that week, players on all platforms will be able to preload Black Ops 6 starting Monday, October 21 at 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET. It's worth noting that Xbox Game Pass subscribers will gain access to Black Ops 6 as a day one title as well.

Those on PC may want to update their AMD, NVIDIA, and Intel drivers as well, as a game-ready driver will help ensure compatibility with Black Ops 6 on launch day. Specifically, Activision recommends PC gamers update to AMD Software: Adrenaline Edition driver version 24.8.1, NVIDIA Game Ready Driver version 560.70, and Intel Arc Graphics driver version 32.0.101.5972 for their respective configurations. Players should also be mindful of storage space after launch, since Black Ops 6 will receive several post-launch updates over the next year.

Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.

The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.

In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
