Like previous parts of the series, Ubisoft's Far Cry 6 takes place on a natural map that will cause some mayhem inside. If you're planning to get the game on PC before its release in October, you can see if your hardware is ready to run, as Ubisoft has released the official PC requirements for Far Cry 6.
The good news is that Far Cry 6 works just fine on even the most modest of machines, when you're willing to lower the visual settings a bit. PC users with a high-end machine can expect the game to render Giancarlo Esposito in detailed 4K resolution with ray tracing, unlimited framerates, scaled resolution for ultra-wide screens, and a built-in benchmark tool that is part of the graphics package.
Interestingly, Ubisoft recommends installing the game on a solid-state drive. The settings listed below are for machines running Windows 10–20H1 version or newer, 64-bit only, and are DirectX 12 compatible.
