Watch Dogs System requirements

Last update: 02 February 2017

Watch_Dogs, in the PC version, is a game of very high system requirements. TO start the PC version, you need 6 GB RAM and GPU GeForce GTX 460. If you want to enjoy the details in the ultra quality, you require a powerful computer of an eight core Intel Core i7 processor and GeForce GTX 780. For the purposes of this guide, we played the PlayStation 4 version and the quality of graphics is comparable to that of the high settings, in the case of the PC version. During the game, we have not noticed any drops in the game's fluency, or any other negative effects, like the pop-up of the elements in the environment or low resolution textures. Watch_Dogs apart from the complex single-player campaign mode, also offers the multiplayer mode, which is integrated with the rest of the contents. This means that at any moment of the game (save the situations in which you are busy with completing a mission), your version of Chicago may be visited by another human player. Also you are free to switch between solo missions and online challenges.
