With Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 coming out later this week, Treyarch has finally gotten around to releasing the full PC system requirements and launch schedule on Reddit. Interestingly, the final requirements are downgraded somewhat from the specs listed for last month's Blackout beta, which demanded an Intel Core i5 2500k (or AMD equivalent) as a minimum CPU, and recommended a Core i7 4770k.
This is what you'll need for the full release:
Minimum:

- RAM: 12GB
- Graphics: GeForce GTX 970 4GB / GTX 1060 is 6GB or Radeon R9 390 / AMD RX 580

Treyarch accidentally added legacy tokens to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, took them away, and then promised to restore them after realising they can't put the toothpaste back in the tube
'Let us disable that garbage': Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players hate the new skins so much that some are asking to pay for them to be removed
