far-cry-5-key-art-featured

With Far Cry 5 heading out on March 27, Ubisoft is getting out of the gate early by announcing PC system requirements for the game. Ubisoft are making it very clear that PC support and player satisfaction will be a priority when it comes to Far Cry 5. Hopefully the delays experienced in development of Far Cry 5 translated to a better end product.

Kirill Bragin, PC Version Producer on Far Cry 5 is keen that you know the PC version is important to Ubi adding, “PC has always been a key element of Far Cry’s DNA, and this couldn’t be truer with Far Cry 5”.

Overall the requirements aren’t too strenuous for somewhat modern hardware at lower settings. Although gamers who want to play the title at 4K and 60 FPS will need more powerful hardware, as if that wasn’t obvious.

The game will have a benchmark feature, and aspect ratio, FOV  sliders, FPS locking and resolution scaling can all be tinkered with. For those that can’t be bothered to tinker with settings, the game will also make attempts to scale settings automatically for best performance based on your PC specs.
