Activision has disclosed the PC specifications for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, revealing that the game will not demand an expensive top-tier system to run. The minimum requirements call for Windows 10, a Ryzen 5 1600 or Core i5-8400 processor, 12GB RAM, and mid-range graphics cards such as an RTX 970 or Radeon RX 470, along with an SSD. These entry-level specifications suggest the developer has optimised the game to remain accessible to a broader audience despite its premium positioning.

For optimal performance, the recommended configuration steps up to Windows 11, a Ryzen 5 3600 or Core i7-8700 CPU, 16GB RAM, and higher-tier GPUs including the RTX 3060 Ti and Radeon RX 6700 XT. The game launches on 23 October, and Activision has emphasised that PC players must enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot to play online, as these security features support the RICOCHET anti-cheat system designed to protect the integrity of the beta and full release.
