If you play CoD on console, you’re ready to go whenever it’s time to play. But if you play on PC, it’s important to know if you have a computer that will be able to play the game well enough to make it worth the investment.

The beta test opens for all players on Sept. 6, so if you’re looking to try the game out and see if you’ll be purchasing it when it releases on Oct. 25, you’ll need to know if your gaming rig is up to snuff to run it at full capacity.

Here are the current recommended and minimum PC specifications for Black Ops 6.
