The newest Call of Duty is finally out for PC and consoles in early access, with a full release set for October 28, 2024. Black Ops 6 is surprisingly well optimized for PCs, and scales down rather well with less than ideal hardware.
This makes it a perfect candidate for handheld gaming PCs, such as the ROG Ally and Legion Go, given their high power APUs and usage of Windows as an operating system instead of Linux – which is incompatible with the game’s anti-cheat solution.
Readers can find a list of the best Call of Duty Black Ops 6 settings for the ROG Ally in the section below, optimized for performance over battery life.
