Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the latest game in the franchise and has been well received thus far for its multiplayer and single player experiences. The game runs at its best on the PC, though many have complained about the Call of Duty download size.
With a competitive game like Call of Duty, in Black Ops 6 multiplayer the higher skilled players will often lower their graphics settings to improve performance over visual quality. Once you start going into the higher graphical settings, that is when you can start to hear your machine grind through the gears, as it attempts to keep the game running at a smooth quality.

Here’s everything you need to know about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, from the game size, to its system requirements, to ensure you have the best playing experience possible.
Modern titles from mainstream developers are having to increase their game size from year to year. Gone are the days of games being around 50GB, now, you are looking at a quarter of your memory gone in the blink of an eye just to download one of the mainstream games.
This year Call of Duty’s game size is no different, with the game coming in at over 200GB. Considering how long is the Black Ops 6 campaign, no wonder the download size is so big. This is only if you are downloading the entire Call of Duty package, which includes Warzone and the Call of Duty HQ, which is the main hub for all Call of Duty titles on the PC, to be clear.
You will need a decent machine if you are to run Black Ops 6 even at the lower settings, it’s a fairly graphically detailed game, and it will take a decent amount of hardware power to ensure the game is running as smoothly as possible. The game can run on lower-end PCs, but overheating definitely could become an issue the longer the playtime goes on.

A stable internet connection is also needed if you are to enjoy the game at its full potential. No one enjoys lag!
Activision put out the minimum, as well as recommended requirements since the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 release date.
The recommended settings should be a no-go for players who have low-end machines. The game will not run smoothly on your machine. You could run into some problems that may affect the performance of your machine in the future. The recommended settings are for players who have medium to high-end machines that can handle the game at launch, and weren’t to adjust the settings too much.
We recommend, however, you adjust the settings until you find what works best for you. There isn’t a perfect settings option for Black Ops 6, it all comes down to the machine that you have. So the best advice is to tweak each setting, until you personally hit that sweet spot.
Monitor settings are important too, you need to ensure the refresh rate on the monitor is the same. The key is to get the VRAM down as low as possible while still having the game look decent.
