Watch Dogs: Legion PC System Requirements
We have learned the detailed system requirements of the PC version of Watch Dogs: Legion. Instead of the standard minimum and recommended configuration in this case, the developers shared information about the components necessary to run the game at different levels of detail, in 1080p, 1440p and 4K resolutions.
October's release of Watch Dogs: Legion is coming closer and closer. In recent weeks, developers have presented a number of promo materials from the game, including new trailers and longer gameplay fragments. Now it's also time for the game's system requirements. Like more and more developers, the authors of the game have abandoned standard information about recommended and minimum PC configuration. Instead, they have provided a detailed list of components necessary to run the title in different resolutions (1080p, 1440p and 4K) and visual settings. There was also a separate category for those who would like to use ray tracing in the game.
