Ubisoft's new Assassin's Creed Shadows trailer showcases enhanced PC features. The trailer highlights support for upscaling technologies like DLSS 3.7, FSR 3.1, and XeSS 2, along with compatibility for ultra-wide monitors and ray tracing effects (RTGI and RT Reflections). Extensive settings are included for optimization on lower-end PCs, and a built-in benchmark tool is added for performance testing.
Minimum PC specs for 1080p/30 FPS gameplay include an Intel Core i7 8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, and an NVIDIA GTX 1070 (8GB) or AMD RX 5700 (8GB) GPU. High-end requirements for 4K/60 FPS with ultra settings and ray tracing call for an Intel Core i7 13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, and an RTX 4090 (24GB) GPU.
Ubisoft collaborated with Intel for optimized performance on Intel processors. Post-launch assessments will determine AMD system performance. The developers aim to address past stuttering issues experienced in previous Assassin's Creed titles; Mirage demonstrated improved performance compared to Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.
Assassin's Creed Shadows launches March 20th on PC and consoles.
