3 Are you going to test the Beta or wait for its release in November?

The PC version is run by Beenox, developers of the fantastic Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled, the remake of the original Crash Team Racing. It is not a bad decision for Activision to hire a studio for the PC port. More considering some disasters that the saga has had with the platform in the past.

Surprisingly, the requirements are quite accessible. We had a campaign trailer very recently and it didn’t look bad at all. They also showed good map destruction, which is something they want to put more emphasis on in this installment.

Minimum requirements
Operating system: Windows 10 64 bit (1909 onwards)
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K o AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
RAM: 8GB
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 960 2GB / GTX 1050 Ti 4GB o AMD Radeon R9 380
HDD: 45GB
Recommended Requirements
Operating System: Windows 10 64 bit (Last Service Pack)
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K o AMD Ryzen 7 1800X
RAM: 16GB
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1070 8GB / GTX 1660 6GB o AMD Radeon RX VEGA 56
HDD: 45GB

Just an Intel Core i5-2500K as a minimum requirement is something that catches the eye. But the recommended requirements are the biggest surprise in my opinion. The i7-4770K came out 8 years ago, and although it still struggles on some rigs, it is surprising that such an old processor is the one recommended by the developers. Either that, or they’ve made a mistake, which we’ve seen in the past with other games.

Even so, it is true that the goal of Call of Duty was always to run at 60 fps on consoles. They were never very demanding games, so it is possible that these are really the requirements.
