Ubisoft has recently unveiled an exciting new trailer for Assassin's Creed Shadows, putting the spotlight on the PC version's standout features. The trailer dives into the support for advanced upscaling technologies like DLSS 3.7, FSR 3.1, and XeSS 2, ensuring players can enjoy stunning visuals with optimized performance. Additionally, the game will support ultra-wide monitors, enhancing the immersive experience with broader field views.
One of the key highlights is the inclusion of ray tracing technologies such as RTGI (Ray Traced Global Illumination) and RT Reflections, which promise to bring a new level of realism to the game's environments and reflections. Ubisoft has also considered players with lower-spec PCs by providing extensive settings adjustments, making the game accessible to a wider audience.
Upon release, the PC version of Assassin's Creed Shadows will come equipped with a built-in benchmark tool, allowing players to test and fine-tune their system's performance. This feature underscores Ubisoft's commitment to ensuring a smooth gaming experience across various hardware configurations.
For those looking to dive into the action, the minimum requirements to play at 1080p and 30 FPS include an Intel Core i7 8700K or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, paired with an NVIDIA GTX 1070 (8 GB) or AMD RX 5700 (8 GB) GPU. If you're aiming for the ultimate experience at 4K and 60 FPS with ultra settings and advanced ray tracing, you'll need an Intel Core i7 13700K or AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor, along with an RTX 4090 (24 GB) graphics card.
Ubisoft has partnered with Intel for Assassin's Creed Shadows, promising strong optimization for their processors. Performance on AMD systems will be closely monitored post-launch. Fans are particularly hopeful that the game will overcome the stuttering issues that plagued earlier titles in the series. The recent Assassin's Creed Mirage showed significant improvement in this area compared to Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, setting a positive precedent for Shadows.
Mark your calendars—Assassin's Creed Shadows is set to release on March 20 for both PC and consoles. Get ready to embark on another thrilling journey through history with optimized performance and breathtaking visuals.
