Assassin’s Creed Valhalla PC Requirements Revealed, SSD Recommended

Ubisoft has finally released the minimum and recommended requirements for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on PC. As with Watch Dogs: Legion, different specifications have been outlined for 1080p, 2K and 4K resolutions. Interestingly, it seems the highest frame rate for Ultra High settings at 4K is 30 FPS but we’ll get to that.

If you’re seeking the bare minimum needed to run the game, then an Intel Core i5-4460 at 3.2 GHz or AMD Ryzen 3 1200 at 3.1 GHz, 8 GB RAM and a GeForce GTX 960 4 GB or AMD R9 380 4 GB are necessary. Installation space is 50 GB across the board with an SSD recommended. But in this case, it seems that a normal HDD should suffice.

For 4K at 30 FPS with Ultra High settings, an Intel i9-9700K at 3.6 GHz or an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X at 3.6 GHz is needed. You’ll also require 16 GB of RAM and either a GeForce RTX 2080 8 GB or AMD RX 5700XT 8 GB. A solid state drive is mandatory here. For the full list of minimum and recommended specs across other resolutions, check below.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is out on November 10th for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PC, Xbox One and Google Stadia with the PS5 version releasing on November 12th. For the latest “Deep Dive” trailer and gameplay walkthrough, head here.
