The Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout battle royale beta is out now exclusively for PlayStation 4 players, but the beta will rollout to PC on September 15. As such, Treyarch released the minimum and recommended PC specs for the Blackout beta on PC.

The minimum PC specs shouldn't be too hard to hit for PC gamers so if you have access to the Blackout beta in five days you should be good to go. As posted on the official Black Ops 4 subreddit, both the minimum and recommended specs for Blackout on PC are as follows:

Minimum

OS: Windows 7 64-bit or later
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k or AMD equivalent
RAM: 8GB RAM
HDD: 40GB HD space
Video: Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB/GTX 1050 2GB or AMD Radeon HD 7950
DirectX: Version 11.0 compatible video card or equivalent
Network: Broadband internet connection
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

Blackout is Call of Duty's first battle royale mode and will come as part of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 developed by Treyarch. Raven Software, an Activision studio that supports the Call of Duty franchise is helping develop the battle royale mode for Black Ops 4. Interested players have already flocked to Twitch to see Blackout in action.
