For Honor PC Specs Revealed

I’m a little worried, to be honest.  I’m pretty excited for For Honor, Ubisoft’s upcoming multiplayer hacker-and-slasher, but we’re less than a few weeks away from launch (February 14th!) and we still know so little about it. Typically, keeping games in the dark before release is a tactic used by developers who don’t have faith in the product, and while that’s sometimes not true (Doom was amazing and it was more-or-less unhyped before launch) those cases are the exception, not the rules.

Regardless, we might not know everything we’d like, but Ubisoft did reveal the PC specifications for the game, so at the very least we can know if your rig can run the thing.

If you want to run things on the lowest present setting, 720p @ 30 FPS, you’ll need:

•  OS: Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64-bit versions only)
•  CPU: Intel Core i3-550 / AMD Phenom II X4 955 or equivalent
•  VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce GTX660/GTX750ti/GTX950/GTX1050 with 2 GB VRAM or more / AMD Radeon HD6970/HD7870/R9 270/R9 370/RX460 with 2 GB VRAM or more
•  RAM: 4 GB

To run the game on the high preset at 1080p @ 60 frames per second, that’ll take:

•  OS: Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64-bit versions only)
•  CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K / AMD FX-6350 or equivalent
•  VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA GeForce GTX680/GTX760/GTX970/GTX1060 with 2 GB VRAM or more | AMD Radeon R9 280X/R9 380/RX470 with 2 GB VRAM or more
•  RAM: 8GB

Oh, and the game will have native support for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One controllers, so lots of choices there if you want to take to battle with a more traditional controller. You can check out all the little details in the link above.

Hopefully, this works out well. I’m rooting for Ubisoft to release a winner here, even if my hopes aren’t exactly up… but gosh darn, we need more good news these days.
