Far Cry 6 minimum and recommended PC requirements

Earlier today, Ubisoft revealed some additional gameplay for the PC version of Far Cry 6, which releases on 7th October this year. However, after the gameplay was revealed, leakers also got their hands on the PC specifications for the game as well. 

This is something that many fans have been curious about. Typically, the higher the recommended specifications, the better the overall game will look. Also, fans wanted to know about the possible graphical features that Far Cry 6 might implement, such as Ray-Tracing or DLSS. 

After the leaked images went public, Ubisoft officially confirmed the list of PC requirements, and they suggest the game will be extremely impressive on the graphical side of things. Of course, this also means that players with older hardware won’t be able to get as much out of the newest Far Cry title.

Fans can see the list of minimum and recommended requirements for Far Cry 6 on PC below. 

Far Cry 6 minimum and recommended PC requirements 

Every requirement listed will require the PC to have an updated version of Windows 10 and the ability to support DX12. 

First up are the requirements for running Far Cry 6 without Ray-Tracing enabled.

• GPU: AMD RX VEGA64/ Nvidia GTX 1080 and 8 GB of VRAM
• RAM: 16GB of RAM (Dual-channel)

Next, Ubisoft also lists some requirements for the Ray-Tracing settings of Far Cry 6. Currently, there are no settings for the 1080p version of Ray-Tracing. 

Recommended 1440p @ 60 FPS Ultra Preset

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X / Intel Core i5-10600K
• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT / Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 
• RAM: 16GB of RAM (Dual-channel)
• Storage: 60GB of Storage

Recommended 4K @ 30 FPS Ultra Preset

• GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6800 / Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 
• RAM: 16GB of RAM (Dual-channel)
• Storage: 60GB of Storage
• Windows 10 64-bit

And there you have it, the full list of PC requirements for Far Cry 6 at different graphical settings. As you can see, running the game at 4K on Ultra settings with Ray-Tracing on will take one of the most powerful systems in the world and it might not even reach 60 FPS. This means Far Cry 6 will look absolutely incredible but it will take a ton of PC power to get there. 

Luckily, it seems like even the base 1080p version will also look fantastic, assuming players can get it running at 60 FPS. Players can test out their rigs and different graphical settings when Far Cry 6 releases on 7th October.
