Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launches globally on November 14 for PC through Xbox on PC, Battle.net, and Steam. Developed by Treyarch and supported by Beenox, the title has been built with PC performance, accessibility, and customization in focus.
PC Development and Key Features
Beenox worked alongside Treyarch from the early stages of production to ensure the PC version offers a tailored experience. The game includes more than 800 adjustable settings, allowing players to modify graphics, controls, interface, and input preferences. Users can choose between performance-focused or high-quality visual settings depending on their hardware.
The game supports resolutions ranging from 1080p to 4K, along with Ultrawide and multi-monitor displays. It integrates AMD FSR 4 technology and other frame-generation tools to improve frame rates and image clarity. A built-in PC Benchmark Tool lets users test and fine-tune their system performance.
Additional features include sub-frame mouse polling for more accurate input, Corsair iCUE integration for RGB lighting effects, and updated Ricochet Anti-Cheat with new requirements that rely on TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot for added account and system protection.
