Can I Run Assassin's Creed?
Assassin's Creed is an action adventure game from Ubisoft Singapore, released in 2026. Ubisoft published it. It offers a single player campaign. It is a recent release, so its requirements reflect current hardware rather than a previous generation. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. Completionists have 49 achievements to work through. 13 languages are covered by the store listing. With more than 17 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. The game ships for Windows alone. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page.

Setting and environment
Players spend their time in a historical setting, moving through spaces built to be avoided rather than cleared. Play is presented from a third person view. The publisher supplies 12 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Assassin's Creed is demanding
Assassin's Creed sits in the middle of the demand range, targeting NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (, a tier a mainstream card from the last few generations reaches without difficulty. DirectX 12 is named, so Assassin's Creed expects a graphics driver and card from the modern era rather than merely a fast one. 16 GB of system memory is expected, the current mainstream figure. Assassin's Creed takes about 65 GB of disk space, SSD specified. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Assassin's Creed scales hard with the hardware you give it. Assassin's Creed names Windows 11, so a Windows 10 machine may need attention first.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Assassin's Creed?
Assassin's Creed is memory-hungry: it wants 16 GB of system RAM, above the 8 GB many machines still ship with. Graphically it is undemanding, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 (6GB), AMD Radeon RX5500XT (8GB) or Intel ARC A580 (8GB) clears the minimum, so more RAM, not a new GPU, is the upgrade most players need.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Assassin's Creed needs about 65 GB of SSD of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Borderline | 1x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.56x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.25x |
A projection, not a measurement. We scale the published GPU requirement by pixel count, since 1440p draws 1.78 times the pixels of 1080p and 4K draws 4 times as many, then compare against RTX 3060 / Ryzen 5 build. The publisher did not state a target resolution, so 1080p is assumed as the baseline. We hold no frame rate data, so no FPS figure is claimed. Headroom above 1 means the reference machine has room to spare at that resolution.

Each card is compared against Assassin's Creed's published GPU requirement, assuming an otherwise-capable PC. Laptop rows use the real mobile chip's benchmark, a mobile GPU is always slower than its desktop namesake.
