Infinity Ward has published the full system requirements for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 ahead of its October 23, 2026 launch. The specifications cover three tiers of performance, from entry-level play to high-end ray-traced visuals.
Minimum Requirements
Players with older hardware can still run the game on its lowest settings. The minimum specification calls for an AMD Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-6600 processor paired with 8 GB of RAM. For graphics, supported cards include the AMD Radeon RX 470, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or 1060, or Intel Arc A580, each with 3 GB of dedicated video memory. The game requires 115 GB of storage on an SSD and Windows 10 64-bit with the latest updates installed.
Recommended Specifications
To play at 90 frames per second on high graphics settings, players should upgrade to an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i7-8700K processor and 16 GB of system RAM. The GPU tier rises to the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, or Intel Arc B580, with 8 GB of VRAM. This configuration also requires Windows 11 64-bit and the same 115 GB SSD footprint.
Ultra Ray-Traced Performance
For those seeking 4K upscaled visuals with maximum ray-tracing quality, Infinity Ward recommends significantly more powerful hardware. This tier demands an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X or Intel Core i7-10700K, 32 GB of system memory, and either an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti with 16 GB of dedicated memory. Windows 11 64-bit remains the required operating system.
Infinity Ward also advises updating graphics drivers to ensure optimal performance: NVIDIA 616.56, AMD 26.7.1, or Intel 32.0.101.8974. The game's campaign will explore North Korean warfare and feature a confrontation between Captain Price and Ghost, continuing the Modern Warfare storyline.
