Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 PC hardware requirements have been revealed. The game can run on legacy hardware and most Windows-based handheld consoles.

Activision and Treyarch have revealed the PC system requirements for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Unlike many modern-day AAA games that demand beefy hardware, this one can easily run on any PC built in the past decade, although you might need more potent hardware to play competitively.

At the bare minimum, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 demands an AMD Radeon RX 570/Nvidia GeForce GTX 970/Intel Arc A580 for the GPU. On the CPU side, one can make do with an Intel Core i5-6600 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400. 8 GB of RAM will suffice, although the game will demand well over 100 GB of hard drive space. For 4K gaming, one needs a Ryzen 5 5600X/Core i7-10700K, GeForce RTX 4080/Radeon RX 9070, and 16 GB RAM. Intel Arc GPU users will need to Enable Resizable bar. 

As confirmed earlier in the open beta, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 needs TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled. Additionally, it comes with a kernel-level anti-cheat software. Treyarch claims the game has been optimized for 'most' Windows handhelds with battery optimizations and UI elements scaled for handhelds. 

Other PC-specific features include support for ultra-wide monitors, support for FSR 4.0 and frame generation, and integration with Corsair's iCue RGB software. Those who pre-ordered the game can start downloading it on November 10 at 09:00 PT. Lastly, it will be available exclusively to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers on day-one.
