Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 PC Trailer, tech updates, and More

Prepare for the release of Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 4 on PC arriving October 23 on Battle.net. In close partnership with Infinity Ward, Call of Duty PC lead developer Beenox is working on delivering the best experience possible across a wide variety of setups.

PC Hardware: Designed for Many Specs

The Beenox and Infinity Ward teams have been working hard to ensure that Modern Warfare 4 performs well on a variety of PC system specs. Though the game looks great on high-end graphics cards, it isn't just designed for players with the best GPUs. With 800+ customization options across graphics, gameplay, input devices, interface, and more, you can dial into the exact settings that work best for your setup.

Some of the major PC features we're supporting include:

• Optimized Hardware Support: Modern Warfare 4 runs on most hardware while also seamlessly scaling up to crisp graphics and ultra-smooth, high FPS gameplay on higher-end setups. The game automatically configures settings based on your hardware.
• Display Optimization: From 4K to 1440p to 1080p, from standard to Ultrawide, expect support for displays of all shapes and sizes.
• Cutting-Edge Upscaling: Choose from a range of upscaling and frame generation technologies including AMD FSR Redstone, NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, Intel XeSS 3, and Filmic SMAA T2X.
• RICOCHET Anti-Cheat: A Multi-layered Anti-Cheat system combines server-side detections, hardware-based protections such as TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot integration, deep investigations, and legal action to combat the cheating market and keep gameplay fair. In addition to RICOCHET Anti-Cheat, expect account security with 2FA and email verification.
• Sub-frame mouse polling: Increased mouse precision for aiming, in addition to support for a variety of input devices.

Visibility and Target Acquisition

Led by Infinity Ward in partnership with Beenox, significant progress has been made on improving visibility and clarity to the game across all platforms including PC, with the following updates:

Enhanced FOV

Available exclusively on PC, Enhanced FOV uses physically accurate lens effects to increase the field of view near the edges of your monitor without affecting the center FOV, a useful feature for players who prefer a smaller FOV but still want the awareness advantage of a wider field of view.

Greater Player Visibility

With HDR10+, the game engine interacts with your screen's brightness settings in real time, adjusting contrast and lightning as needed for optimal clarity without the need to adjust manual sliders.

Additionally, expect new visual settings and setting values that lead to a sharper gameplay experience including:

• New sharpness slider global to any upscaler
• New shading quality
• New Filmic SMAA T2X settings
• Improved GFX settings such as:
  • Screen Space Reflections
  • Shadow Filtering Quality
  • Occlusion and Screen Space Lighting
