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:
