Assassin’s Creed Shadows system requirements show ray tracing is here to stay

What are the Assassin’s Creed Shadows system requirements?  Thanks to Ubisoft, we now know that you won’t need a huge PC upgrade to enjoy roaming around Feudal Japan in this latest Assassin’s Creed game, unless you’re planning to max out your graphics settings with extended ray tracing.

With the Assassin’s Creed Shadows release date getting closer, you don’t need to panic buy the best graphics card out there to make the most of your time with Yasuke and Naoe in Feudal Japan. These Assassin’s Creed Shadows system requirements show a healthy balance between old and new hardware. However, ray tracing isn’t optional, even on the lowest graphics settings, and you’ll need an RTX 4090 or better to manage full RT at 4K.
