Activision has finally unveiled the Black Ops 7 system requirements. This time around, the PC hardware requirements are fairly modest for the most part. It means that the game will run easily, even on hardware that can be deemed outdated in 2025. For instance, the game requires only an GTX 1060, a GPU that was released nearly 10 years ago. Needless to say, anyone with a modern system should be able to run Black Ops 7 just fine.

So, without any further ado, let’s dive into the Black Ops 7 system requirements and find out the minimum and recommended hardware specs suggested by the developers.

What Are the Black Ops 7 System Requirements?

These are the minimum and recommended PC system requirements to play Black Ops 7. For those interested in what the different requirements mean, fret not, as we’ll cover them right now.

The minimum specs will ensure that you will be able to at least run the game on your PC. It doesn’t guarantee an optimal experience, but it will suffice to get the game running. As for the recommended specs, they ensure that you get an optimal gaming experience with all settings set to ‘High’ and maintain 60 FPS for the most part at 1080p.

But we aren’t done yet. Black Ops 7 will be implementing a new version of the Ricochet Anti-Cheat system, which has a few requirements of its own. Make sure to check out the next section to see if your system is eligible to play the game.

Additional Black Ops 7 PC requirements

Apart from the PC specs shared above, your PC must have TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled. Otherwise, the anti-cheat system won’t boot, and needless to say, you won’t be allowed to play the game. Do note that this is also a requirement for the Black Ops 7 Beta.

Furthermore, for users with Intel ARC GPUs, they must have Resizeable Bar enabled on their systems. Not doing so could prevent the game from launching in the first place. If it does, the performance won’t be up to the mark.

That covers just about everything that you need to know to get Black Ops 7 running on your PC. The game is now available for pre-order digitally on PC via the Xbox Game Store, Steam, and Battle.net.
