Far Cry 5 is no longer releasing in February like it was originally supposed to- instead, it will be coming out on March 27. But that still means that its release date is drawing nearer- near enough that Ubisoft now apparently feels confident enough to share the minimum and recommended PC configurations needed to run the game.
As you might expect, the game will be a graphical showcase, which means you need to have a powerful machine to get all that it can do out of it. Nonetheless, you can still expect reasonable performance from mid range PCs, if nothing else.
Far Cry 5 will be the very first game in the series to be set in the United States of America. It is due out on March 27, and it will be releasing on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Check out the PC requirements (minimum, recommended, and more) for the game for yourself below.
