Can I Run Assassin's Creed Origins?
Assassin's Creed Origins is an action adventure game from Ubisoft Montreal, released in 2017. Ubisoft published it. The game supports a single player campaign. Windows is the only supported platform, which is what the figures below describe. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. 14 languages are covered by the store listing. At 9 years old it targets an older hardware baseline than most buyers now own. With more than 118 thousand player reviews on Steam, its behaviour on real hardware is well documented. Controller support is partial, so some input still falls back to the keyboard. Completionists have 67 achievements to work through.

Setting and environment
The game is set in a historical setting. Play is structured around one continuous open world. Continuous worlds put sustained pressure on memory and storage, and Assassin's Creed Origins can never assume the player will stop and let it load. Play is presented from a third person view. The publisher supplies 6 storefront screenshots of these environments.
Why Assassin's Creed Origins is demanding
Assassin's Creed Origins is undemanding on the graphics side. Its NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 or AMD R9 280X ( target sits well below our RTX 3060 reference, so most cards still in service clear Assassin's Creed Origins. Assassin's Creed Origins needs 64 bit Windows. Assassin's Creed Origins needs only 8 GB of RAM. At 3 GB, VRAM is a non issue for Assassin's Creed Origins. The install is small at roughly 42 GB.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Assassin's Creed Origins?
Older hardware holds up here: Assassin's Creed Origins runs on modest graphics, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD R9 270 (2048 MB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0 or better) enough to meet the minimum. Add 6 GB of RAM and a mid-range CPU and a PC several years old will play it fine.
Bottleneck: GPU
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Comfortable | 3.95x |
| 1440p | Comfortable | 2.22x |
| 4K | Borderline | 0.99x |
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.
