Watch Dogs Legion is undoubtedly the biggest game of an extremely quiet October premiere. There is only a week left until the release of the third installment of the series, which will take place in futuristic London. Behind us are numerous gameplay shows and demonstrations of the ray tracing technique, which will be used in the game for all kinds of reflections. We also learned the hardware requirements of the PC version, and now Ubisoft has shown the Watch Dogs Legion graphics options on the latest video material. The game will offer a wide range of settings customization, not only those related to the visuals. We also know how it will work on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles.

Watch Dogs Legion will offer very rich settings (not only graphics) in the PC version. We also learned that the game is to run in 4K and 30 frames per second with ray tracing on.

Watch Dogs Legion – hardware requirements for Ray Tracing and DLSS

Watch Dogs Legion is to support both DirectX 11 and DirectX 12. Ubisoft has previously confirmed the availability of ray tracing and DLSS techniques, for which it will be possible to set the quality level (from low to ultra and from performance mode to ultra performance). We will adjust, among others the field of view (FoV), the detail of the geometry of the game world (with an additional slider affecting the detail of distant objects), the quality of the environment, shadows and reflections or the resolution of textures. Each option has at least a pair of setting levels (low to high or ultra). Ubisoft – as in its last games – has included a short description next to the options, information about the approximate impact on the load on the processor and graphics card, and visualization of changes in graphics quality.

Watch Dogs Legion – release date, gameplay and ray tracing on XSX

What’s more, Watch Dogs Legion will also allow you to customize many options related to the gameplay and interface elements, or even such small things as subtitles ( their size and color). So it will be difficult to complain about the modest settings in the PC version. Watch Dogs Legion premieres on October 29 October 2020 on personal computers, Google Stadia, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The PS5 and Xbox Series X versions will be released on the day of the launch of the new generation consoles. Unlike Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, the title is supposed to work on them in 4K resolution at “only” 30 frames per second. This is closely related to the game’s support for ray tracing, which we are activating on new consoles. Perhaps Ubisoft will also offer an alternative mode that, after turning off the ray tracing option, will make the animation smooth at the FPS level 60, but it has not been he is still officially confirmed.
