Call of Duty Cold War: Technical Requirements for PC

Call of Duty Cold War: Technical Requirements for PC

After seeing how the current Call of Duty: Modern Warfare ate gigabytes of your hard drive after each update, it was to be expected that a game that debuts a new generation of consoles would require at least the same as its predecessor. And that’s just what will happen with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War .

Minimum requirements for Cold War on PC

Activision has published a list of the minimum requirements necessary to install Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War on your PC Master Race computer, and it seems that we are not going to find big surprises in terms of disk capacity, since such and as we suspected, the game will need a generous hole in your internal storage.

To be exact, the multiplayer package will occupy no less than 50GB, but things get interesting if you also want to start the campaign, which will be the most normal thing in the world. In that case, installing the full game will require 175GB of free disk space, but don’t think it ends here.

The price of 4K

If you are wanting to install the game to make the most of your brand new graphics card with all kinds of lighting effects and textures, and enjoying the maximum 4K resolution with ray tracing, then you will be forced to install the most demanding modality, which you will need no less than 250GB of disk space.

If you are one of those who has an SSD drive for the system, you better have a second drive for other types of content, or else the game will consume you like a vampire.

Choose and install what you need

Luckily, as has happened until now, due to the demand for disk space required by the game, users will be able to choose the Call of Duty packages that we need, so if we finish the campaign so as not to play it anymore, we can always uninstall it and stay exclusively with the 50GB of multiplayer.

Still, we will have to see what happens when the contents of the first season arrive and the new Warzone map, which is scheduled to land in December, a month after the launch of the game.

If you want to have controlled all the requirements that you will need to play Cold War, we leave you the minimum and recommended specifications so that you can get an idea:
