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 designed for optimal performance even on 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 confirm compatibility with their systems, especially ultra-wide monitors.

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 (8GB) or AMD RX 5700 (8GB) graphics card. For a 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 (24GB) graphics card.

Ubisoft has partnered with Intel to optimize Assassin's Creed Shadows for their processors, promising strong performance. Post-launch performance assessments on AMD systems will follow. The community eagerly awaits the game's release, hoping for a significant improvement over the stuttering issues that plagued previous entries in the series. Mirage showed a marked improvement in this area compared to Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, offering a glimmer of hope for smoother gameplay.

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