Watch Dogs 2 PC Specs Announced

Ubisoft always try to bill the PC versions of their games as super high end- and at least as far as the specs requirements of their games go, there is no doubting the fact that Ubisoft games are high end. And to Ubisoft’s credit, allegations of graphical downgrades notwithstanding, a lot of their games are graphical marvels and wonders.

So it should come as no surprise that the PC version of Watch Dogs 2, a game that already looks set to be a stunner visually, will require some pretty high end specs to run properly. You can check out the full list of specs for the PC version of Watch Dogs 2 below. The game will launch on November 15 for PS4 and Xbox One, with the PC version releasing on November 29.

Driving
