Call of Duty: Vanguard PC requirements: Minimum and recommended specs

Call of Duty: Vanguard is set to release on November 5, bringing players back into a World War 2 experience. Here’s a breakdown of Vanguard’s PC requirements, from minimum spec to higher-end systems. 

Call of Duty: Vanguard is due to drop onto consoles and PC this November, promising to take advantage of an upgraded Modern Warfare game engine. Before you drop into the WWII-era shooter, you’ll need to know the PC requirements.

Vanguard will be sold for PC players exclusively on Battle.Net, the Blizzard-owned game launcher. With new mechanics coming to this latest iteration, such as destructible terrain, it won’t be the easiest game to run smoothly.

However, we’ve now got the full rundown on everything you’ll need to run the game properly on PC. Below are the full minimum and recommended specs.

Minimum PC specifications

Thanks to the official Vanguard website, we were able to get a glimpse of what it takes to run the first offerings of the game.

Able to support uncapped frame rates and a low-latency mode, Vanguard will naturally take some serious power to maintain stability.

Call of Duty games have become infamous for their filesize too, with the beta itself coming in at 45gb alone. Black Ops Cold War was over 170gb, so be prepared come launch day.
