Assassin's Creed Shadows PC System Requirements and Features Trailer

Prepare for Feudal Japan with Assassins Creed Shadows launching March 20th 2025. Find out what's needed to run this game on PC while you wait with the system requirements and PC Features trailer!

Ubisoft have released a new PC Features Trailer ahead of the release of Assassins Creed Shadows next month on March 20th, and it's looking to be the best version of the game. Assassins Creed games have always had a rough past on PC in the past (we're looking at you AC Unity), but in recent years the developers have made sure that not only is PC the best platform for settings, but also the most scalable - offering support for Low and High-End setups and Assassins Creed Shadows is no exception.

Like the previous game Assassins Creed Valhalla that launched all the way back in 2020, Shadows will offer a number of options on PC including Ultra Wide Resolutions, Higher Framerates, In-Game Benchmarks and more. AC Shadows also adds in some raytraced global illuminations and reflections and upscaling options (such as DLSS 3.7, XeSS 2 and FSR 3.1). The game will also feature dynamic seasons with dynamic wind and particles, environmental destruction and more. Check out the PC Trailer while you wait and pre-oder today!

For those who want to push the game even higher, the top end enthusiasts should aim to have at least an Intel i7 13700k/ AMD Ryzen 7 7800x3D paired with a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 24GB if you want to run the game at Extreme 4k (using upscaling) at 60 FPS.
