The minimum system requirements for Black Ops 6 include Windows 10 64-bit as the operating system, an AMD Ryzen 5 1400, or Intel Core i5-6600 processor with at least 8 GB of RAM. For graphics, you’ll need a GPU like AMD Radeon RX 470, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960, or Intel Arc A580, equipped with 2 GB of video memory

The recommended specs require Windows 10 or 11 64-bit. The processor requirements are higher, with an AMD Ryzen 5 1600X or Intel Core i7-6700K and 12 GB of RAM. The recommended graphics card is an AMD Radeon RX 6600XT or NVIDIA GTX 1080Ti / RTX 3060, each with 8 GB of video memory

For players aiming for competitive or 4K ultra settings, the game recommends Windows 10 or 11 64-bit as the OS, along with a processor like AMD Ryzen 7 2700X or Intel Core i7-8700K, supported by 16 GB of RAM. The graphics performance should be powered by an AMD Radeon RX 6800XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 / RTX 4070, requiring 10 GB of video memory

Black Ops 6 storage space

The 102 GB storage requirement for Black Ops 6 is notably smaller than that for previous installments. This is mainly because Warzone is a separate download for PC users, reducing the overall game size.
