Ubisoft has released a new trailer showcasing the PC version of Assassin's Creed Shadows, highlighting its impressive features. The trailer emphasizes support for cutting-edge upscaling technologies like DLSS 3.7, FSR 3.1, and XeSS 2, ensuring optimal performance across a range of hardware. Players can also expect stunning visuals with support for ray tracing technologies, including RTGI and RT Reflections, and ultra-wide monitor compatibility. Extensive settings are included to allow for customization, even on lower-spec PCs, thanks to a built-in benchmark tool for performance testing and optimization.
Minimum specifications for a smooth 1080p/30 FPS experience include an Intel Core i7 8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, paired with an NVIDIA GTX 1070 (8GB) or AMD RX 5700 (8GB) graphics card. High-end players aiming for 4K/60 FPS with ultra settings and advanced ray tracing will need a more powerful setup: an Intel Core i7 13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, and an RTX 4090 (24GB) graphics card.
Ubisoft has partnered with Intel to optimize Assassin's Creed Shadows for their processors, promising strong performance. Post-launch assessments will determine performance on AMD systems. The developers are aiming to address past stuttering issues that plagued previous entries in the series; Mirage showed significant improvement over Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, offering hope for a smoother experience this time around.
Assassin's Creed Shadows launches March 20th on PC and consoles.
