If you’re aiming for 1080p at 60 FPS on medium settings, the requirements make a noticeable jump – especially for the GPU. A Core i5-10600K or Ryzen 5 3600 will do the job, while recommended graphics cards include the RTX 3060, RX 6600 XT, or Intel Arc B580.
For 1440p at 60 FPS on high settings, you’ll need a stronger setup. This includes a Core i5-11600K or Ryzen 5 5600X, paired with an RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT. At the high end, for 4K at 60 FPS on ultra settings, the game demands top-tier hardware. You’ll need a Core i7-12700K or Ryzen 7 5700X3D, along with an RTX 4090 or RX 7900 XTX or better.
Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced will launch on July 9, 2026, across all platforms, and we’ll most likely get to learn more about how well it runs on various handhelds as we get closer to launch.
