Update, September 14: Sledgehammer have delivered on their promise of a PC open beta for Call of Duty: WWII, which will begin September 29.
Console players have had their fun, but now it’s time for PC players to get in on the action. Call of Duty: WWII will be getting a PC open beta starting this month.
Assuming the PC beta follows the PS4 one, we'll get to try the new COD: WW2 War mode.
The open beta will run on Steam from September 29 to October 2. Sledgehammer say it’s just “a small part” of the final game’s multiplayer offerings, but it will offer PC players a chance to see how the game plays, while giving the developers a chance to test their infrastructure.
Sledgehammer also say that they’ll be optimizing the PC version based on feedback from the community, but based on the minimum specs they’ve just released I’d say they’re pretty confident with how the game will run on low-end machines. Maybe they meant optimize in more general sense.
OS: Windows 7 64-Bit or later
CPU: Intel Core i3 3225 or equivalent
RAM: 8 GB RAM
HDD: 25 GB HD space
Video: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 @ 2GB / AMD Radeon HD 7850 @ 2GB or better
They say those specs won’t apply to the final release, but I’d wager that they’re likely to be very close. Recommended specs, as well as more details on what content the PC beta will feature, are still on the way.
Original Story, August 23: Call of Duty: WWII is getting a beta on PC... but we don't know when. Based on the dates of the console private beta, it'll be well into September, at the earliest.
Michael Condrey, head of development at Sledgehammer Games, confirmed the PC beta on Reddit with the simple words: "yes, coming."
PlayStation 4 users who've pre-ordered the game will get access to a private multiplayer beta in two days' time, with Xbox One pre-orders getting in on a second wave starting on September 1.
According to Sledgehammer, that beta will contain:
At least three multiplayer maps, including Pointe Du Hoc, Ardennes, and Gibraltar.
War Mode - Operation Breakout
Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Hardpoint game modes.
Progression - players will begin at Soldier Rank 1 and rank up through a limited progression to unlock weapons, scorestreaks, equipment, and Basic Training Skills.
The new Headquarters social space, ranked play, supply drops, and loot are all excluded from the console private beta. The PC beta will obviously be later, meaning we're looking at mid-September at the earliest, but there's a chance we might get some more content.
