These are the final system specs needed to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be available very soon. Recently, we have seen different news about the gameplay modes and other aspects of the game that have given us some insight into what we should expect when it's released. Even though we had an idea of the requirements needed due to the beta events, one of the key pieces of information that was to be confirmed is the system specs needed to play the game on PC, and Infinity Ward has finally detailed those.

They are not very different than the ones that were required to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare during the different beta phases that have been available for some players during the last weeks, but now you can check a few different configurations more that give you a better idea of what kind of performance you can expect to have while playing the game depending on your hardware. Those include the system specs required to play with maximum FPS and to make the best use of the Ray Tracing technology.

After revealing those, Infinity Ward has been forced to clarify that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare won't really need 175GB of available hard drive space, at least at launch. The space needed will probably reach that huge amount later when more content is released, so make sure that you have enough room in your hard drive.

The release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is scheduled for October 25 on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, but if you are playing on a console, you don't need to worry about the technical stuff.
