Though Activision hasn’t published the full game specs yet, they've released the beta system requirements, which are nearly identical to those for Modern Warfare 3. These specs might evolve for the final release, potentially demanding a bit more from your system, but they offer a solid reference point for now. Let’s break things down!

Black Ops 6 System Requirements

Minimum Black Ops 6 System Requirements

Here are the minimum system requirements based on the beta phase. Note that these are identical to the minimum specs for Modern Warfare 3, and therefore should give us a good idea of what to expect for the full release, although you shouldn't be surprised if they get tweaked:

These specs will allow for a decent performance, as long as you're not expecting ultra-high settings. In other words, you’ll be able to play the game, likely on lower settings, but if you want a buttery-smooth experience with more visual effects, you’ll need more powerful hardware.

Recommended Black Ops 6 System Requirements

For those aiming for a higher frame rate and better visuals, here are the recommended specs:

While these specs are still based on the beta, functionally they are almost identical to Modern Warfare 3, and they should offer a solid benchmark for the full release. With this setup, you'd enjoy smoother gameplay and more impressive visuals, to immerse yourself fully in the game.

Disk Space – Time to Free Up Some Room?

The question of storage is pertinent to fans of the franchise, considering concerns about the increasing size of Call of Duty games over the years. Activision have made clear that they will reveal just how big the final version of Black Ops 6 is closer to launch, but what's interesting in these beta requirements is that again the required storage space is identical to Modern Warfare 3, in both the minimum and recommended settings.

That is, at this stage, Black Ops 6 requires 149 GB space on your SSD. However, if you’ve already got CoD HQ and Warzone installed, the requirement drops to 78 GB. Hopefully, this isn't as hefty as you may have feared, but it's still a big download! If you’re low on storage, it might be time to do some cleaning or even consider upgrading your SSD.

What About the Full Release?

While the system requirements mentioned above are based on the beta, there are unconfirmed suggestions that the full release might push your rig a bit harder for maxed-out settings. As I say, this hasn't been confirmed, but it's something to keep in mind if you're planning to play on Ultra settings. Especially with all the advanced graphical enhancements that could be included in the full version. As ever, we'll be sure to keep you updated as soon as the publishers make any further announcements.

Our Advice - Be Prepared!

With the full release of Black Ops 6 just around the corner on October 25th, now’s the perfect time to check your PC’s capabilities to ensure you're fully prepared.
