A GTX 1060 gets you in the door, but SSD storage, TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are now non-negotiable. Here is the current minimum and recommended spec.

Call of Duty Warzone system requirements have crept up as anti-cheat and visual fidelity demands have grown, and a couple of them will block installation outright if your PC does not meet them.

Minimum

  • GPU: GTX 1060 / RX 580 (8GB VRAM)
  • CPU: Core i5-6600K / Ryzen 5 1600X
  • RAM: 12GB
  • Storage: SSD only — HDDs are no longer supported

Recommended (1080p60)

  • GPU: RTX 3060 / RX 6700 XT
  • CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X / Core i5-12600K (8-core class)
  • RAM: 16GB DDR4

The non-negotiables

TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot must be enabled in your BIOS — this is Activision's Ricochet anti-cheat requirement, and the game will refuse to launch without both switched on. DirectX 12 and a broadband connection are also required regardless of tier.

Storage

Budget well over 100GB, and expect it to grow through the season as content updates land — checking the storefront listing before you install saves a nasty surprise partway through a download.
