The official PC requirements for Watch Dogs: Legion were actually announced back in September, but this week, Ubisoft revealed an updated list with more details on ray tracing. Legion, of course, offers ray traced reflections and supports Nvidia’s upscaling tech DLSS. The new set of requirements more specifically reveal which DLSS mode is required at each of the different resolutions. They also incorporate the new RTX 3000-series cards into the list. The non-ray tracing specs have not changed, and the ray tracing specs have gained a new middle point between 1080p and 4K, with that being 1440p. Unfortunately, though the specs are fairly detailed, they don’t mention framerate targets, which is going to be the deciding factor for most when switching between the different modes.
Read on below for all the updated ray tracing requirements. Ray Tracing On – 1080p / High Settings (Ray tracing Medium, DLSS Quality)
CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 / AMD Ryzen 5 2600 GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060 VRAM: 6GB RAM: 16GB Storage: 45GB OS: Windows 10

James recently spent a few hours with Legion and praised how its open world design makes it possible to care about random NPCs and their struggles. Watch Dogs: Legion is out October 29 on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. It will be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at launch. If you’re looking to pick up an RTX 3000 Nvidia GPU, you’ll get the game for free.
