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, ultra-wide monitor compatibility, ray tracing effects (RTGI and RT Reflections), and extensive settings for optimization on lower-end PCs. A built-in benchmark tool is also included 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 demand an Intel Core i7 13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, and an RTX 4090 (24GB) GPU.
Ubisoft partnered with Intel for optimization, promising strong performance on Intel processors. AMD system performance will be evaluated after launch. The developers aim to address past stuttering issues prevalent in earlier Assassin's Creed games; Mirage demonstrated a significant improvement over Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla in this area.
Assassin's Creed Shadows launches March 20th on PC and consoles.
