Assassin’s Creed: Shadows will be released on PC on March 20th, and it appears that it will support NVIDIA DLSS 4 from the get-go. As such, owners of the RTX GPUs will be able to take advantage of the Transformer model. Not only that, but owners of the RTX50 series will be able to use Multi-Frame Gen.
Ubisoft has provided us with a review code and according to the guideline, we can say that we’re playing it and that we’ll have a day-1 PC Performance Analysis.
Naturally, I can’t share any details about the in-game settings. I also can’t share any benchmarks, screenshots or videos. I can’t even talk about the game itself. But here is where things get really interesting. You see, NVIDIA has already added the ability to use DLSS 4 via its NVIDIA App. Now I don’t know if we’ll get native in-game support for DLSS 4. What I do know, though, is that you can use the NVIDIA App to enable DLSS 4 and MFG.
So, by using the NVIDIA App, you can use MFG X3 or X4. And yes, you can benefit from the Transformer model of DLSS 4 Super Resolution. I’ve tried them and they work. Obviously, I can’t share any performance numbers or impressions. For that, you’ll have to wait until March 18th.
Another thing to note is that the review code does have the Denuvo anti-tamper tech. As such, it will give us a pretty good idea of how the retail/final version will run. So, our benchmarks will be representative of the day-1 experience you’ll get.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is powered by the latest version of the Anvil Engine. The game will have dynamic seasons and weather, aiming to change the landscape and your strategy. It will also have destructible environments, as well as dynamic wind and environmental particles.
On PC, players can expect support for FSR 3.1 and XeSS 2 at launch. There will also be a built-in benchmark tool to test your PC. Plus, the game will support ultra-wide monitors. Ubi will also take advantage of Ray Tracing. The devs have used RT to enhance the game’s Global Illumination and reflections.
Ubisoft will release Assassin’s Creed: Shadows on PC on March 20th. The Steam version will NOT require the Ubisoft Connect launcher. However, you will still need a Ubisoft account. You can also find the game’s official PC system requirements here.
Stay tuned for more!

Hopefully both people who actually buy this cancerous of piece of s**t, will make use of it.
yeah, FG is amazing
they are trying so hard to appease everyone but gamers themselves
Is it possible that this was all an elaborate way of manipulating players to pick the female character instead of the male choice? In the past games players chose the male character 80% of the time over the female one and that angered Ubisoft because they went out of their way to make the female character the canon choice and players ignored it.
I always pick female characters, you gay?
They do it all the time after the hype goes down. In AC Odyssey Cassandra is canon, in Cyberpunk fem V, in Mass Effect Fem Shepard.
Fem V and Fem Shep are canon?
First time hearing that fem shep is canon
First time hearing that fem shep is canon
Cassandra was kick a*s, no wonder she was canon
No amount of fancy tech or optimization can save this subversive piece of filth.
Alt-right incel comment.
Not alt-right, it's a sheep comment. They parrot whatever is popular on the internet.
They think it's the worst game ever made because there's a black guy in it.
I’m all about smoking hot chicks in games and not black dudes, but hey, to each their own
Well you're defending the wrong guy then because someone else in the comments said he doesn't want to paly as females and the guy you're defending upvoted his comment.
You're that bundle-of-sticks that is spreading HIV/AIDS in the wccfkek comments section and now you've come here to do the same, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to **** off.
Let us see how well it sells.
no body care
yes yes, I believe you.
This is why you spend the time to read the article and comment.
The bottom-feeders backing this mess don’t even game. But man, they sure know how to stir up trouble and tear the whole industry down.
can't wait for fake resolution and fake frames to play as a fake din du samurai
Ubisoft continues to fail miserably financially. Shareholders have lost all confidence because of the continued mismanagement of the company. Revenue is down 31% for the last 9 months over same period last year. Stock share price is down 77% over the last 5 years. There debt continues to escalate. It's up to 2.7 billion dollars now. Creditors rate them as facing imminent bankruptcy.
This is what happens to a once financially successful company and the most valuable (by Market Cap) Publisher in Europe when they make stupid decisions and refuse to admit it and change their policies.
Serious question, based on the above do you think it is wise to buy Ubi stock before it skyrockets?
Stocks should be bought when they are down, right? So is this now the best time to buy Ubi stock?
I have been investing for about 40 years and I've learned an important lesson from watching what other people went through. Never, ever give stock investment advice to family and friends. If you turn out to be right then people will love you but if you turn out to be wrong then you could do permanent harm to your relationship. Money is just that important to just about everyone. We need it just to survive.
I can give 2 pieces of advice though without buy/sell advice. No matter what anyone tells you look seriously into the companies finances. I have never bought any stock because to me it's like a casino but I don't have the time, people or resources to really get the best info for trades.
The 2nd piece of advice is to look into mutual funds. Go with a big fund that has a proven track record. Invest in funds based on your age. When you are young you can put more in high risk/high potential return funds because if you lose it then you still have time to make it up before retirement. Middle age start backing down the risk and when you are closer to retirement back the risk down even more.
If you've read this far then I leave you with this. I was watching AMD financially go down the tubes about 10 years ago and I was convinced that there was almost no hope for them. Their share price had plummeted to around $1.60 If I had done like some were saying and put $1,000 into the stock back then I would have $50,000 today but once again I see individual stocks as gambling for the average investor. Never a good idea to gamble more than you can afford to lose 🙂
Thank you for your thorough response! Everything is going down latelly so I started thinking this is a great time to start investing.
Who the f cares?
they only deserve to fail because they don't integrate FSR 3/4 and DLSS 3/4 in their games even the sponsored ones?
assassin creed valhalla and far cry 6 only have fsr1.x and it sucks.
Lol, why spend time on a tech that 0.01% of gamers have access to?
FSR4 is only available on last gen AMD GPUs, go check how many gamers have those cards on the Steam charts
Would it be ideal that they'd go back and patch older games to support the newer scaling technologies? Yes, it would be fantastic. Is it a realistic expectation? Hell no, little to no financial incentive for them.
I totally wouldn't be surprised that the likes of several years old Remedy games (Max Payne 2, Control) and Cyberpunk 2077 keep getting updated with the newest res scaling + frame gen techs is because the hardware manufacturers are cutting them cheques.

I don't get the target audience for this game. It's going to fail miserably.
the target audience is gamers, so I think it will go well
I'll interpret this news as them saying that the game will be an unoptimised mess.
stoked for this game. cant wait
I am betting Ubi stock will double in value after this is released.
Shadows is literally checking all the boxes for Game of the year.
I am so glad that I will be able to enjoy it with 144+ fps with FG on my 4080! Go Ubi!
nobody cares. and yes I write comment, but not read article, and not buyin game nor play for free. Dont care about game, but to se who will get triggered.
It will not natively support DLSS 4 on launch (official website only says DLSS 3.7). What you are talking about is overrides in the control panel.

Nowhere in this article did I say that there is in-game support. Support via the NVIDIA App is native support. The only thing that changes when a dev adds in-game support is that you can change the DLSS 4 MFG from inside the game.
That's not how it works. If it was as simple as adding a new toggle for DLSS 4 in the in-game settings menu, surely the devs would have already done it for release. The overrides are just that, overrides, and haven't been fully tested and optimised for the game in question, which is why it's not there as an official setting in the game, as most likely it requires more tuning before they make it officially available, and surely they would market it as such on the official website.
Dude, we’ve been talking directly with NVIDIA. IF it was a mere toggle setting, DLSS 4 MFG would have been supported in ALL DLSS 3 games. It’s not. Only specific DLSS 3 games support DLSS 4. NVIDIA adds a profile to its app only after testing it. The reason you see a profile is because it’s quicker for NVIDIA to implement it (Hogwarts Legacy and Avowed are two games that supported DLSS 4 first via the app before the devs added an in-game option. Performance was exactly the same BTW. Nothing was “improved” with the in-game setting).
I think you didn't understand my message. Ofc there is no toggle for DLSS3 to DLSS4, that's not what I wrote. I wrote that if the override represents the fully functional DLSS4 implementation for the game, it should't be much work to add it to the game for the launch day. Since it's not there, well… Also I don't trust anything Nvidia says. They said the 5070 would be on the same level as a 4090 and we all know that wasn't true. Not to mention how they do everything they can to trick people by skewing their comparison charts etc. etc.
