Ubisoft sets expectations for Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ performance on PS5 and Xbox consoles
As Assassin's Creed Shadows approaches its March 20 release date, players need to make sure their platforms are ready to run the game properly. The first thing is knowing when AC Shadows releases in your region and platform, which is a challenge in itself since launch times vary so drastically. Then the other important thing to keep in mind is performance differences between consoles. For example, Assassin’s Creed Shadows will run at better visual quality and frame rates on the PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X compared to the standard PS5 and Xbox Series S. Fortunately, Ubisoft has released the exact performance details for each console, so you can check the tables below to see what to expect when you start playing. Assassin's Creed Shadows expected frame rates on consoles Here’s the FPS you can expect on each console, depending on your selected game mode, according to Ubisoft. You can use the tables below in two ways: Look for the target performance you want (for example, 60 FPS) and choose your game mode based on that. Look for the game mode you want (for example, Fidelity for the best graphics) and check the expected frame rate. PS5 Mode Resolution Target Performance Ray Tracing Usage Performance 2160p Upscaled 60 FPS Selective Fidelity 2160p Upscaled 30 FPS Standard Balanced 2160p Upscaled 40 FPS Standard PS5 Pro Mode Resolution Target Performance Ray Tracing Usage Performance 2160p Upscaled 60 FPS Standard Fidelity 2160p Upscaled 30 FPS Standard Balanced 2160p Upscaled 40 FPS Extended Xbox Series S Mode Resolution Target Performance Ray Tracing Usage Fidelity 1620p Upscaled 30 FPS Selective Xbox Series X Mode Resolution Target Performance Ray Tracing Usage Performance 2160p Upscaled 60 FPS Selective Fidelity 2160p Upscaled 30 FPS Standard Balanced 2160p Upscaled 40 FPS Standard PC performance and minimum requirements If you’re playing on PC, your performance won’t be as predictable as on consoles since it depends on your specific hardware and the countless combos of RAM, CPU, and GPU you can make. However, the game’s minimum PC requirements are: RAM: 16 GB CPU: Intel Core i7 8700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600, or better GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 8GB / AMD Radeon RX 5700 8GB / Intel Arc A580 8GB, or better Performance differences between consoles and PC On consoles, you are locked into the game’s preset settings, meaning lowering the resolution won’t improve performance like it does on PC. For example, on a PC, reducing the resolution decreases the workload on your GPU and CPU, allowing the game to run at higher FPS with lower visual quality. On consoles, however, resolution settings don’t work the same way, so what you see in the tables above is exactly the performance you’ll get. Now that you know what to expect, all that’s left is to see how these settings translate into real performance once the game launches. Whether you prefer sneaking through the shadows as Naoe, charging into battle as Yasuke, or switching between both styles, Assassin's Creed Shadows will let you play your way when it arrives.
