The next instalment in the Call of Duty franchise is just around the corner. With the next FPS shooter, Call of Duty Vanguard, being set for a November 5th launch. Now’s the ideal time to get your consoles or PC ready for this hefty download.

Bearing in mind, you can only preload the game if you’re pre-ordered it. But as long as you’ve pre-ordered it, you’ll be set. Now, let’s have a look at the specs.
