Assassin's Creed Shadows Trailer Unveils PC-Exclusive Enhancements

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 settings for lower-end PCs. A built-in benchmark tool is also included for performance testing.

Minimum specifications 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.

Intel partnered with Ubisoft for AC Shadows, ensuring strong optimization for their processors. Post-launch performance analysis on AMD systems is planned. The developers aim to address past stuttering issues, building on the performance improvements seen in Mirage compared to previous installments like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla.

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