Ubisoft's new Assassin's Creed Shadows trailer showcases enhanced PC features. The trailer highlights upscaling technologies (including DLSS 3.7, FSR 3.1, and XeSS 2 at launch), ultra-wide monitor support, ray tracing (RTGI and RT Reflections), and extensive configuration options for lower-end systems.
A built-in benchmark tool will aid performance testing. Minimum specs for 1080p/30 FPS 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 demand an Intel Core i7 13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, and an RTX 4090 (24GB) GPU.
Intel's partnership ensures optimized performance on their processors; AMD performance will be evaluated after release. The developers aim to address stuttering issues that plagued previous installments, building on the improvements seen in Mirage over Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.
Assassin's Creed Shadows launches March 20th on PC and consoles.
