Activision has revealed the required and recommended PC specifications for Call of Duty: Vanguard. In addition, they’ve also announced preloading details.
All PC players who pre-ordered the game on Battle.net can preload Vanguard today starting at 1 PM Eastern Time so that you’re ready to play the moment the game goes live.
