Wondering "can my GPU run Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4?" You're not alone — it's one of the most-searched questions ahead of launch. Modern Warfare 4 is Infinity Ward's next mainline Call of Duty, launching October 23, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2. It will NOT ship on PS4 or Xbox One. A PC release is confirmed, so PC requirements should publish ahead of launch.

Important: Rockstar/Activision have not published official PC system requirements yet. Everything below is an EXPECTED tier based on each studio's recent titles and engine trends, retrieved 2026-09-10. Treat it as a planning estimate, not a spec sheet.

Expected PC requirements (prediction)

EXPECTED — not official. Based on Call of Duty recent titles.

How we predicted this

Activision's IW engine is highly scalable (MW series has run on a GTX 1060 / RX 580 at minimum for years). Expect a similar floor with a higher recommended ceiling for ray tracing and 4K.

Predicted tiers

How this estimate is calculated

Full transparency on the model.

Method

We map each studio's last 1–2 PC releases to a hardware-demand tier, then project the new title onto the same band (a step up for visibly larger worlds / new engine features). GPU relative-performance indices are from the TechPowerUp GPU database (https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/), retrieved 2026-08-29. This is editorial estimation, not a benchmark. Verify on your own hardware once official specs post.
