Can I Run Call of Duty: WWII?

Released in 2017, Call of Duty: WWII is an action game built by Sledgehammer Games. Publishing duties went to Activision. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Completionists have 35 achievements to work through. Its 9 years mean the stated figures describe machines that were current then, not now. It is localised into 12 languages according to the store listing. Split screen on one PC is supported, a feature most releases have quietly dropped. A gamepad works without remapping, since controller support is complete. Over 33 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. Steam gates it behind an age check at 17. The game ships for Windows alone. Saves sync through Steam Cloud, so moving between machines does not cost progress.

Why Call of Duty: WWII is demanding

Call of Duty: WWII is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 @ target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Call of Duty: WWII. System memory expectations are modest at 8 GB. Call of Duty: WWII needs 64 bit Windows. Call of Duty: WWII takes about 90 GB of disk space. At 2 GB, VRAM is a non issue for Call of Duty: WWII.

This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.

Can you run Call of Duty: WWII?

100%
Can run iton a typical modern PC (Ryzen 5 5600, RTX 3060, 16 GB RAM), the graphics card is the tightest fit.

Older hardware holds up here: Call of Duty: WWII runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 660 @ 2 GB / GTX 1050 or ATI® Radeon™ HD 7850 @ 2GB / AMD RX 550 enough to meet the minimum. Add 8 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.

Bottleneck: GPU

Large install. Call of Duty: WWII needs about 90 GB of free storage.

Projected by resolution

ResolutionProjectionHeadroom
1080pComfortable5.31x
1440pComfortable2.99x
4KRuns well1.33x

A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.
