As Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is set to release on October 28, Activision shared more news about the PC requirements to play the game. If your PC is not a war machine, we have some bad news for you.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 requires 25GB of storage. This is more than Valorant (23GB), but way less than Call of Duty: Vanguard and its storage size of 36GB – 61GB if you want to play in 4K. Take this storage size with a pinch of salt though: chances are the game will be heavier at launch. You still have some time to clear your backlog and make some space for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 before it releases on October 28, 2022.
Here are the minimum specs to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s public beta:
- OS: Windows 10 – 64 Bits (latest update)
- CPU: Intel Core i5-3570 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
- Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 or AMD Radeon RX 470
- Video Memory: 3GB
- RAM: 8GB RAM
- Storage Space: 25GB
