Assassin's Creed: Shadows PC Features Revealed

Ubisoft has released a new trailer showcasing the impressive PC features of Assassin's Creed Shadows. The trailer highlights support for cutting-edge upscaling technologies, ultra-wide monitor compatibility, ray tracing effects (RTGI and RT Reflections), and a wide range of settings optimized for both high-end and lower-spec PCs.

At launch, the PC version will boast compatibility with DLSS 3.7, FSR 3.1, and XeSS 2, ensuring a smooth and visually stunning experience across a variety of hardware. A built-in benchmark tool will allow players to easily test performance and ensure optimal settings for their systems. Ultra-wide monitor support is also confirmed.

Minimum specifications for 1080p at 30 FPS include an Intel Core i7 8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, coupled with an NVIDIA GTX 1070 (8 GB) or AMD RX 5700 (8 GB) graphics card. For a stunning 4K 60 FPS experience at ultra settings with advanced ray tracing enabled, players will need a more powerful setup: an Intel Core i7 13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, and an RTX 4090 (24 GB) graphics card.

Ubisoft has partnered with Intel to optimize Assassin's Creed Shadows for Intel processors, promising strong performance. Post-launch performance assessments on AMD systems will follow. Many fans are hoping this title avoids the stuttering issues that plagued previous entries in the series. Mirage showed significant improvements over Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, offering a positive sign for smoother gameplay.

Assassin's Creed Shadows launches March 20th for PC and consoles.
