Ubisoft officially unveiled Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced on April 23. Players now have the official PC specifications ahead of the game’s July 9 release. Fortunately, PC gamers will not need to break the bank to run it.
The game brings back pirate captain Edward Kenway for a single-player adventure across the Caribbean. Developers stayed true to the 2013 original. However, they successfully blended in modern UI elements from recent titles like Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Hardware Shortage Keeps Specs Grounded
Currently, an ongoing DRAM shortage crisis plagues the tech industry. Consequently, RAM and SSD prices have soared out of control. Because of this, hardware companies have brought back legacy components. Ubisoft recognized this trend. Therefore, developers tailored the new requirements for older PCs to provide the necessary overhead.
Players with a popular graphics card like the RTX 3060 sit comfortably in the recommended tier. Furthermore, Ubisoft specifically designed the game with handheld PCs in mind. Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced includes dedicated handheld preset options. As a result, the title guarantees full compatibility with the Steam Deck and upcoming SteamOS devices like the Steam Machine.
Universal Requirements & Features
Regardless of your chosen preset, your system must meet these baseline requirements:
- RAM: 16GB (Dual-channel setup)
- Storage: 65 GB available SSD space
- OS: Windows 10 (64-bit); Windows 11
- Additional Features: Uncapped frame rates; HDR support; Ultra Wide Resolution support
Ubisoft built all graphical presets with Dynamic Resolution and upscaling technology in mind. Therefore, the game fully supports AMD FSR 4, Nvidia DLSS 4.5, and Intel XeSS 3 upscalers.
