Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is due out on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in just ten days from the time of this writing, on November 14, 2025. Now that graphics card drivers are already being pushed ahead of its arrival, Activision has already put out a launch trailer for the game, and more importantly, has finally put out a PC specs chart, including a small word on the specs for handheld PCs.
The new trailer is mostly a cinematic look at the various modes you get in Black Ops 7, with action shots of the campaign, the multiplayer, and zombies.
The PC specs are the more intriguing part of today's reveal, if only because they're not too demanding. Here's the minimum specs:
- OS: Windows 10 64 Bit (latest update)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1400 or Intel Core i5-6600
- RAM: 8 GB
- Video Card: AMD Radeon RX 470 or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 / 1060 or Intel Arc A580
- Video Memory: 3 GB
- Storage Space: SSD with 115 GB available space at launch
The recommended specs:
- OS: Windows 11 64 Bit (latest update)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X or Intel Core i7-6700K
- RAM: 12 GB
- Video Card: AMD Radeon RX 6600XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 or Intel Arc B580
- Video Memory: 8 GB
- Storage Space: SSD with 115 GB available space at launch
And the specs for players that want to play at 4K:
- OS: Windows 11 64 Bit (latest update)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X or Intel Core i7-10700K
- RAM: 16 GB
- Video Card: AMD Radeon RX 9070XT or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 / 5070
- Video Memory: 16 GB
- Storage Space: SSD with 115 GB available space at launch
Here's the full specs chart:
The most unfortunate part of this specs chart is how little is said about PC handheld optimization. On the Call of Duty blog, Activision writes, "Black Ops 7 ships fully tuned for supported PC handhelds, including the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X. The developers enhanced UI legibility, scaled every screen for smaller displays, and optimized the game to deliver smooth performance without sacrificing image quality. With native control support, it’s easy to drop in and start playing right away."
That's nice to hear but it lacks any real specifications about how the game will run on PC handhelds, like the recently released ROG Xbox Ally X (which you can check out our review for here). Hopefully, we'll get a better sense of how it runs ahead of launch, though, with how close we are to that, it seems PC handheld users will either get a great experience on launch, or the lack of details here is a sign of poor performance to come.
