Far Cry 5 PC Specs Revealed

Far Cry 5, the first Far Cry game you’ve been excited for (assuming you’re not offended by its politics) will launch on March 27, and if you had plans to give it a play on your PC rather than the consoles, you’ll need to know if your computer is up to snuff. Thankfully, Ubisoft just released the specs you’ll need to have if you want to enjoy your time in the rural United States, and it’s about as intense as you’d expect:

Looks like you’ll need a pretty hefty computer for the 4k 60 FPS configuration. But for graphics nerds out there, Ubisoft has a pretty good history of making games look fantastic, so it might be just what you need to justify the thousands of dollars you spent on your top-tier machine.

I’m sure it’ll look great in screenshots.
