The minimum CPU requirements include an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 or Intel Core i5 8400, along with 12GB of RAM and Windows 10 64 Bit. The recommended setup upgrades to an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i7 8700, 16GB of RAM, and Windows 11.
An SSD and broadband internet connection are required for both configurations.
Due to the RICOCHET Anti Cheat system, PC players will also need TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled. Activision recommends using the latest graphics drivers from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel as well.
Ahead of the beta, Activision will host a Call of Duty: NEXT livestream on August 21 at 9:00 AM PT. The presentation will feature new details, gameplay, and additional information about Modern Warfare 4.
