If it wasn’t enough to host a worldwide reveal showcase or highlight the sheer number of improvements and changes in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, Ubisoft has offered tons of other new details. These include PC requirements, and interestingly, just like Assassin’s Creed Shadows, it seems ray tracing, which includes RTGI and reflections, is non-negotiable.
On the minimum end, you’ll need an Intel Core i7-8700K 3.7 GHz or AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz, 16 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 (6GB), an AMD Radeon RX5500XT (8GB) or an Intel ARC A580 (8GB). This enables 1080p/30 FPS gameplay on the Low preset with Standard ray tracing and an upscaler set to Balanced.
For the recommended requirements, a Core i7-8700K 3.7 GHz or Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz, 16 GB of RAM, and a GeForce GTX 1660 (6GB), a Radeon RX5500XT (8GB) or an ARC A580 (8GB) are required to net 1080p/60 FPS gameplay on the Medium preset with Standard ray tracing and Balanced upscaling.
At the highest end, a Core i7-12700K 3.6 GHz or Ryzen 7 5700X3D 3 GHz, 16 GB RAM, and an RTX 4090 (24GB) or Radeon RX7900 XTX (24GB) are required. The result? 4K/60 FPS gameplay on Ultra preset with Extended ray tracing and upscaling set to Quality. Of course, Windows 11 is required across the board, and you’ll need 65 GB of installation space on a solid-state drive.
Pretty hefty overall, but given the sheer fidelity of the remake, it’s probably warranted. Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced launches on July 9th, retailing for $60 on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Head here for more details on all the changes.
