Can I Run Far Cry 6?
Ubisoft Toronto released Far Cry 6 in 2023. It is an action adventure game, published by Ubisoft. It offers a single player campaign and cooperative play. Completionists have 99 achievements to work through. An age check at 17 sits in front of the store page. 14 languages are covered by the store listing. A pad covers most of the game, though parts of it still expect a keyboard. Over 32 thousand players have left a Steam review, so this is a title whose performance is widely reported. The game ships for Windows alone.

Setting and environment
Play is built around one continuous open world. 5 storefront images show what the game actually looks like in motion. It is played from a first person view. Open environments are the harder case for a PC, and Far Cry 6 has to keep far more of its world resident and streaming than a level based game needs.
Why Far Cry 6 is demanding
Demand in Far Cry 6 is ordinary. The publisher has AMD RX Vega 64 ( in mind, which our tables place around the RTX 3060. Far Cry 6 calls for DirectX 12, which rules out otherwise capable hardware that never got the feature level. The 8 GB VRAM figure quietly excludes a lot of 6 GB hardware that would otherwise cope. Far Cry 6 expects 16 GB of system memory. Far Cry 6 wants about 170 GB of disk space, which is a real consideration on a smaller drive. Far Cry 6 needs 64 bit Windows. Minimum and recommended sit far apart here, which usually means Far Cry 6 scales hard with the hardware you give it.
This reading comes from the published requirements and our own benchmark tables, not from the store listing.
Can you run Far Cry 6?
Free up space before installing Far Cry 6: it needs roughly 170 GB. Once it's on disk the rest is unremarkable, AMD RX 460 (4 GB) or NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 (4 GB) and 8 GB of RAM meet the minimum, so most current PCs handle the compute side.
Bottleneck: GPU
Large install. Far Cry 6 needs about 170 GB of free storage.
Projected by resolution
| Resolution | Projection | Headroom |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Runs well | 1.21x |
| 1440p | Below the bar | 0.68x |
| 4K | Below the bar | 0.3x |
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 Far Cry 6'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.
