The PC version will feature advanced technologies such as ray tracing (real-time lighting and reflections). It will also support ultrawide resolutions, an unlocked frame rate, and benchmark tools for performance analysis.
Minimum and recommended configurations
To run the game on PC with minimum settings, you'll need an Intel Core i7-8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, plus an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB or AMD Radeon RX 5700 8GB graphics card. This configuration allows you to run Assassin's Creed Shadows at 1080p at 30 FPS, with low graphics settings.
The recommended configuration boosts performance to 1080p at 60 FPS, requiring an Intel Core i5-11600K or AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060Ti 8GB or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB GPU.
For those looking for a 1440p experience at 60 FPS, you will need a processor equivalent to the recommended one and a GeForce RTX 2070 8GB or higher graphics card.
Ray tracing and extreme performance
Ray tracing support raises the requirements. To run the game with enhanced lighting and reflections at the minimum level, you'll need a GeForce RTX 2070 8GB or AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB GPU. At the recommended level, you'll need a GeForce RTX 4070 Super 12GB or Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB.
For those seeking maximum ray tracing performance, Ubisoft suggests an Intel Core i7-13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor. Additionally, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 16GB GPU for 1440p or an RTX 4090 24GB for 4K. Both configurations require 16GB of RAM and a mandatory SSD.
Availability and pre-sale
Assassin's Creed Shadows will be released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC (via the Ubisoft Store , Steam , and Epic Games Store ), as well as Macs with Apple Silicon chips. Pre-orders are now available, and early purchasers will receive the Claws of Awaji expansion, with 10 additional hours of content.
