Call of Duty: Vanguard Official PC Specs Revealed

Call of Duty: Vanguard's PC specs have officially been revealed, giving players an idea of just how beefy their rig will need to be to venture into its alternate vision of WWII. Pre-loading time has also been announced, which will help you play as soon as the game releases on November 5.

The big takeaways are that you can still miraculously get away with a CPU as low as an Intel Core i3-4340 or AMD FX-6300. If you want WWII to look its finest in 4K, however, you'll need a much more recent Intel Core i9-9900K/AMD Ryzen 9 3900X.

As previously reported, Vanguard will take up considerably less storage space than earlier Call of Duty games. You'll need a minimum of 36GB if you just want to play multiplayer and zombies mode, but getting 4K assets will cost you "up to 64 GB" or up to 32 GB with Vanguard's Hi-Rez Assets Cache feature, which streams high-resolution assets.

Read below for the full list of PC spec requirements for Call of Duty: Vanguard.

Call of Duty: Vanguard Pre-Loading Time

If you've pre-ordered Call of Duty: Vanguard on Battle.net, you can pre-load it before its November 5 release date.

Pre-loading starts on November 2 at 10 AM PT. Activision notes in its blog post that some players might find that their digital copy doesn't automatically pre-load, so you'll need to find Call of Duty: Vanguard under the Battle.net Launcher "partner games" section and follow the prompts to get your download started.
