Can Your PC Handle Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate?

Last month, Ubisoft Quebec whisked players off to Victorian London for Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and by and large, the latest installment in the clandestine juggernaut helped cushion the blow of Unity and the wave of technical hitches it entailed late last year.

And so, buoyed by a wave of overly positive reviews, the studio is readying the PC version of Syndicate for a release in only a few weeks’ time, and in order to give budding early adopters a concise rundown of what to expect in terms of tech, Ubisoft has released the minimum and recommended PC specs for the Victorian adventure.

While additional anti-aliasing is reserved for the high-end rigs, the technical specifications below aren’t terribly intensive, and the minimum requirements ought to be compatible with the majority of mid-range PCs, lowering the entry point for any newcomer to the franchise on the platform.
