Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, the latest in the long-running FPS franchise and the first back-to-back sequel in years, is due out later this week, kind of. If you preorder a digital version of the game, you can play through its campaign early, starting November 2. That’s eight days before the full game’s release on November 10, which is when its multiplayer suite goes live. Ahead of that early campaign launch, publisher Activision Blizzard has released the PC specs and system requirements to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
If you’ve played recent Call of Duty entries, you likely already know what you’re in for, and this year’s is not all that different. But if you’re new, or curious if you need to upgrade before this year’s entry, we’ve got you covered.

Activision Blizzard has also listed a few notes alongside these PC specs to take into account:
- Specs are valid for product at launch and may be updated in the future
- All specifications require a broadband connection and DirectX12 compatibility
- Additional storage space may be required for mandatory game updates
- Hi-Rez assets cache is optional disk space that can be used to stream high resolution assets – that option can be turned off in the game’s settings
- Only Intel/AMD processor (with AVX instruction set) are supported at this time
- 149GB of available space required for initial download of Modern Warfare III (78GB if COD HQ and Warzeon are already installed)
- Content can be uninstalled to access COD HQ + MP only
And those are the PC specs and system requirements needed to run Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
