About Call of Duty®
This is the Call of Duty app on Steam, the home of Activision's shooters: it supports Modern Warfare 4, Black Ops 7 and the free battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone. Depending on what you own, you can play story campaigns, fast online multiplayer, Zombies and Warzone with friends. It is rated PEGI 18. Modern Call of Duty games are demanding: the makers recommend an RTX 3060 or RX 6600 XT and 12 GB of memory, and a high-refresh monitor helps in fast matches.
What Call of Duty® needs
In plain words: to play at all it needs an entry-level graphics card, and to play it well the makers suggest a decent mid-range graphics card, with 12GB of memory.
| Part | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Graphics card | AMD Radeon™ RX 470, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970 / 1060 or Intel® Arc™ A580 | AMD Radeon™ RX 6600XT, NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 3060 or Intel® Arc™ B580 |
| Processor | AMD Ryzen™ 5 1400 or Intel® Core™ i5-6600 | AMD Ryzen™ 5 1600X or Intel® Core™ i7-6700K |
| Memory (RAM) | 8 GB RAM | 12 GB RAM |

Will my computer play Call of Duty®?
On most computers we find the graphics card for you. Add your processor and memory, and we will tell you if it plays, and what to upgrade if not.
A low-spec PC or a high-spec PC?
The gap between the minimum and recommended spec is modest, so a mid-range gaming PC gives a good experience.
On a PC that only just meets the minimum, the game will start and play, but on low settings: simpler shadows and textures, shorter view distances and fewer frames each second, so fast moments can feel less smooth. A 1080p screen is the sensible match.
On a PC that meets or beats the recommended spec, you can turn the settings up: sharper textures, proper shadows and lighting, more detail in the distance, and a smoother picture. A stronger PC also lets you use a sharper 1440p or high-refresh screen.

Questions about Call of Duty® on PC
What graphics card do I need for Call of Duty®?
The makers say the minimum is AMD Radeon™ RX 470, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 970 / 1060 or Intel® Arc™ A580, and they recommend AMD Radeon™ RX 6600XT, NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 3060 or Intel® Arc™ B580. In plain words: a decent mid-range graphics card for a good experience.
How much memory (RAM) does Call of Duty® need?
At least 8GB, and 12GB is recommended. 16GB is the sensible amount for a gaming PC today.
Is Call of Duty® multiplayer?
Yes. You can play it single player, multiplayer, player versus player, online player versus player, co-op, online co-op or cross-platform multiplayer.
Can a gaming PC from Sandbox Computers run Call of Duty®?
Yes. 91 of our PCs meet the recommended spec, from £969. They are built and tested in Worcester.
How we match: we compare the graphics card and the memory in each PC with the makers' spec, because those decide most of how a game runs. For very new or demanding games, ask us and we will check the processor too. More help: graphics cards explained, how much RAM, which screen.
